A member asked:
I'm fixing my jaw with braces. can this change my face (nose, chin, and jawline) in any way? i'm 22?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it. Braces align the teeth, they don't alter the jaw bone beneath or above them. Oral surgery can lengthen or reduce the jaw length as a major procedure, Implants can alter the chin/face. Plastic surgery can change the shape of the nose.
