How to fix weak chin without surgery. i do have a teeth problems including crowding, and painful tmj.also, narrow teeth.

Consult with doctor: The weak chin comes from deficiency of the length of the lower jaw. Some people subconsciously compensate by jutting the lower jaw forward in attempt to mask the deficiency. This can lead to stress on the jaw joints, TMJ. Sometimes, braces are done to allow for the lower and upper teeth to come together only if the lower jaw is in a forward position. It is best to consult with the orthodontist.

Malocclusion: Sounds like you have numerous jaw/teeth malrelationships. Would be best to see a specialist Orthodontist for anInitial Examination (usually free) and a discussion of the intensity of your malocclusion and the treatment options available to you.
