I think I lack the vertical growth of jaws and basically both of my jaws are reccessed. What Can I do? Ive tried goatee and some beard to hide it but Im sure my oldself is better looking with clean shave. My concern is that when I talk or bite or eat my skin under jaw looks terribly bad. This is my first post here and I look for advices. Im 20. Also is stuff like mewing really gamechanging? I have my tongue up on my palette but idk if i have the jaws or the oral space to be correctly mewing. But what I know is that when Iin my natural tongue posture I cant breath through my mouth when I open my mouth holding that tongue position. Will a bimax fix this? Or a bimax would not be enough for my case? I just think I need some vertical lengthening tbh. please help and give advices.

Speak to an airway orthadontist and get a scan of your airway.

I was in the same boat where I had enough pallet space but still had mild sleep apnea and a very narrow airway.

thank you so much. I will be talking with another ortho and a jaw surgeon.

That’s great man, one more thing.

If at any point an orthodontist recommends tilting the teeth to compensate for recession, ignore them, the only purpose of them if to give you a recommendation to a surgeon to actually get it fixed.

Hi my teeth are literally tilted. idk why i didnt see your post but now I saw what u were saying. My front teeth are literally forward tilted. Ive talked with an ortho and they said that to fit all my teeth in, the previous dentist/ortho must have done that. That was done when I was 12 or 13. Now my jaws are literally small but wide (lacking forward and vertical growth but literally wide like a square). tf should I do now?

These fucking orthos man

You were camouflaged, you realistically have a narrow airway.

Seen an AIRWAY ortho. DM me
 
Well I’m curious about this too I see young Jordan Barrett and Herman drago both have a kind of squished short face but not too overly , young Jb also has slightly reccesed mandible . SFS comes in hand with short ramus , reccesed mandible thus weak lower face support
