A member asked:
What do you suggest if my teeth are positioned. also do you think i would need genioplasty or something similar to shorten my face and make it more round?

Teeth positions: If you are concerned about the way your teeth are positioned you should see an orthodontist for an evaluation. They are trained to evaluate your teeth, jaws and facial structures.

Complex Question: It sounds like you have a possible skeletal malocclusion where your teeth (bite) may not be ideal and you have concerns with long facial features. An orthodontic evaluation would be recommended to diagnose your problem and to create a treatment plan. If your bite is related to a skeletal problem, orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be indicated and a surgical consultation would be recommended.
