What is the minimum malocclusion a surgeon would willingly perform BSSO on you?

[tweaqo]

So I have an overbite of 2mm (measured by ortho).

Is it even worth it to get a BSSO with this bite because the risk to reward isn’t that good, but when I jut my lower jaw to meet my upper teeth, I look much better.

Would a surgeon be willing to operate to fix such a small overbite, even though I have no breathing or chewing issues?

Could I get away with just getting a genioplasty, while getting the desired results: such as this guy in the before and after photos attached:

A positive overjet of 2mm is considered ideal.

I don't think it's worth it in your case. You already have a good side profile.

First you likely mean overjet, not overbite.

Second, minimal overjet doesn't mean you aren't recessed, it just means your teeth are tilted back. If they untilt(straighten) your teeth you could have a 6mm overjet.

Post your profile, I can usually tell if it's jaw or chin.

This is true.

OP has posted his side profile at the top of the thread. His profile is already excellent and would not benefit from bimax imo.

The thing is I have straight teeth vertically. If that makes sense, they aren’t angled forward, but my lower jaw is not aligned with my upper jaw.

I will get an oral X-ray done by my ortho to try and show u.
My ortho is refusing to fix my overbite with elastics because he said if I fix it anymore “my jaw won’t be in its natural biting position”

Thanks but I feel like irl my side profile does not look as good as it does in that picture, and when I jut my jaw forward I look so much better imo

Get a consultation with a surgeon to confirm this.

I suspect they’ll say you’re not a candidate with a 2mm overjet (ideal) and no obvious jaw retrusion.

These orthos cucking me so hard it’s not that fucking hard to fix my bite.

In this case I will just get a genio unless I find a blackpilled surgeon who is willing to do it.

I didn’t read your initial post properly.
This means all of my advice could be wrong.

To clarify, the photos attached are not of you, but some guy that got a genioplasty, right?

Without posting a picture, we can’t determine if you’re a candidate for jaw surgery.

There's some frauding going on - he's clearly tilting his head up, this isn't frankfurt plane.
