1. How old are you?
2. Change the ortho, you mandible is clearly recessed
 
dude you dont need an xray to see his recessed mandible :lul:
no you need it because if his relation beetwen maxilla and mandible is normal you cannot use any applience to guide his jaw foward becuase he would get underbite, also for xray sou can see how much growth potential there is

Look at the lips
his mandible is way far back than his maxilla
you dont need a CT to tell that he is recessed
end of the argument

There is no debate about whether his mandible is recessed. It is. But I wanted to know if he had an X-ray done, because he asked what to say to his orthodontist. In response to his orthodontist claiming his mandible isn't recessed, he could argue that based on cephalometric standards, it's a Class II overjet. This could help him have a better conversation with his ortho.

Do you think a Doctor likes getting corrected from a 10 year old baby?
He should just change the clinic if he can

yeah propably not, but he can try it, in his case i dont think any ortho can save this overjet without bsso tbh
