Jutting has given me an underbite

[hexumsforgotten]

I had a mild overbite my whole life and I started jutting to save my side profile 6 months and now 6 months forward I have an underbite. Its very extremely but not when I'm sleeping or woken up and standing or sitting it's only in this position and some other

Ask an orthodontist for a full orthodontic diagnostic record, not just “a scan.” You said you have an underbite but only in certain positions, this sounds more postural/functional mandibular protrusion as opposed to confirmed skeletal underbite.

They will confirm whether it is either:
Habitual bite/maximum intercuspation: how you normally bite now
or
Centric relation/guided relaxed jaw position: where the jaw seats naturally without you jutting.

Ask for scans with bite registrations in both your relaxed + guided bite and your jutted bite

Yeah I got a recessed mandible but it's not that much and thanks for the advice I'm probably gonna get the scans soon.

No problem. With the scans, you'll know for sure. Mark my previous message as the solution with the checkmark to the right, thanks Hexum.
