Would getting a chin implant make my overbite look better?

Maybe not: Your would be best to seek a cosmetic consultation regarding chin implants and how that would make your profile/facial appearnce look post-surgically.

It may: But it certainly wont correct your mal occlusion which cause other problems in the future. Get a consult from an orthodontist and get some options.

More complicated!: Your profile is based on many things. The skeletal component, dental occlusion, jaw relationship, etc. If you are contemplating a chin augmentation you owe it to yourself to get a thorough work up , perhaps w an orthodontist, oral and plastic surgeon!
