Is premolar chewing helpful if your mandible is overdeveloped?

Is premolar chewing with the goal of CCW rotation helpful if you have an overdeveloped mandible/underbite but a recessed maxilla?

I meant underbite I edited the thread

Does chewing on those last teeth (the one furthest back) impact your ccw rotation? Cuz I think I’ve always been chewing on those and my gonial angle is pretty high

you need surgery to fix this. No amount of chewing will fix an underbite nor short mandible. Mark as solution

Sorry how do I do that?

I am likely getting BSSO orthognathic surgery in 1 year. This will likely be alongside genioplasty. I was just trying to help myself in the meantime.

No, masseter chewing doesn’t really impact CCW. It could increase the ramus length though or at least give the illusion of it
