Possible nonsurgical treatment for recessed mandible

[BornAgainChad]

Injecting igf-1 into the condyles induces forward growth of the mandible.
In this study they injected igf-1 into one side of the mandibular condyle and it fixed the asymmetrical growth.

What's a recessed mandible? Is that like a recessed chin? Pics?

Yeah it's kind of like a recessed chin. It's when you have a moderate to severe overbite.

Just use the triangle method.

Using a profile picture of your face, draw line going straight down. Then a line from your nostril going towards your ear. It should form a right triangle. The ideal triangle is one that has alot of forward growth and not too tall.

If you bite is aligned it means you have a bad maxilla growth/angle, counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement surgery is the only savior.
