Jaw position: At 17 most of your jaw growth is complete. Your profile, however, can be greatly influenced by relative tooth position. Please see a specialist Orthodontist for anInitial Examination, which is usually free. The Orthodontist can asses your malocclusion, discuss what can and cannot be done, and present you with viable treatment options. Please see an Orthodontist.
