I have an overbite that causes a weak jawline. would i really need to get jaw surgery or could a chin implant be an option instead to fix my jawline, even though it wouldnt fix my bite?

Orthodontist eval: The expert to consult with should be an orthodontist. They use pictures and X-rays to evaluate the jaw bones and the bite. By viewing these diagnostic tools, they can advise and give an opinion of what treatment would be most beneficial.

Chin Implant: Only cosmetic, will have no effect on your occlusion or overbite. You really need to be evaluated by an orthodontist.

Weak chin: Chin implants have proven to be an unstable procedure as if the overall jaw malrelationship is not corrected, the implant partially resorbs. Please seek evaluation by a competent specialist Orthodontist. Collaboration with a specialist Oral Surgeon may be required to provide you with a stable, functional, and esthetic result.
