Orthodontic reeval: Please see a fully qualified orthodontic specialist for reevaluation. You might benefit from additional orthodontic treatment or from facial surgery, or from both. Perhaps a simple chin implant would help. Seek additional information.

Skeletal Overbite: See an Orthodontist first for preliminary consultation, imaging and treatment options for skeletal overbite. The lack of coordination between the orthodontist and the oral surgeon will lead to a compromised result.
