Orthodontic treatment should have no effect on the shape of your chin.

Orthodontics will probably not change the position or the shape of your chin. As an. adult who's growth has ceased means that jaw surgery, by a qualified specialist Oral Surgeon, will be required.Discuss your question with your specialist Orthodontistfor explanation and referral.
