You can’t have your mandible pulled forward besides by BSSO. Have your teeth aligned and then seek surgery from a professional.
bro who tf is giving me a bimax for cosmetic reasons with 0 functional issues.
I dont have a big enough overbite for surgery. Its very minor.
Don't fix your overbite then bro dead serious
Permajut I guess, its not worth recessing the maxilla
Im already getting a genioplasty, but im not getting a BSSO bro. The jaw procedures seem extremely expensive, time consuming, and a major commitment. Plus my chin is the main problem, my lower jaw is just a little bit smaller.
Why not? It gives my lips a recessed look when I bite down. Thats my main reason for doing this.
But braces also push the mandible forward. I just watched a video on this to make sure. Idk bro.
I feel like this whole forum is obsessed with bimax and recommend it like crazy. In my country, it is only insured if you have legitimate problems where you can barely chew food or severe sleep apnea. So I'll have to pay 20k+ out of pocket and get placed on a three year waitlist for the surgery, then have orthodontics done afterwards as well. I would benefit much more from spending that money on a rhinoplasty + chin surgery. But you are correct, after researching braces it mostly moves your lower jaw with elastics and less so your upper. Idk why people are saying it only moves your upper. What did you tell your orthodontist btw?
I couldn't get a bimax covered by insurance with overbite, I could have only gotten lower jaw surgery which wasn't worth it for me.
I got consultations from 4 orthodontists until I found blackpilled one. I came from protruding upper lip perspective, saying I don't care about my teeth, but my lip is the issue. If they tell you they can't do anything about the lip - LEAVE. If they talk things like 'lip stands on teeth and moving teeth affects the lip' then they are more likely black pill ortho. Also they don't mention extractions, they should say wisdom teeth extraction are not needed for orthos.

you need a bimax, not braces. I have a minor overbite, almost not noticeable, but i'm getting it for cosmetic reasons
Thanks bro, I'll ask my orthodontist what he can do about my lips.I got consultations from 4 orthodontists until I found blackpilled one.

The Protruding Upper Lip Pill
This one is brutal. I was thinking about people on this site arguing about what a recessed chin and jaw is and how to measure it. None of these things matter, it is only if the jaw or chin looks recessed that matters. This is where we come to the PUL pill, which is the easiest way to look...
Why not elastics?
They will either retract your maxilla or your mandible to match your occlusion, it might not be huge but it can fuck you up aesthetically.
I know it sucks but O'Pry has it as well, it's a very minor failo. You almost certainly have other things you could work on instead tbh.
