I have small lower jaw and deep overbite can it be fixed with only braces? can lower jaw's form become better and bigger with braces ? i am male 17
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jaw growth: At age 17 most jaw growth has been completed. However there are many solutions available, most including both tooth repositioning (orthodontics) and jaw repositioning (surgery). Start with a fully qualified specialist Orthodontist for a free initial examination to know what options are available to you.
