braces won't help a recessed jaw
not true, if overbite/underbite braces will balance out the position in which the teeth lay which will correct the general position of the jaw

they work magic for underbites, but most orthodontists won't do the things necessary in order to correct an overbite massively unless its very severe

i mean overbites are primarily caused by dental positioning which is corrected with braces
