Face profile

[marc23]

Hi,

unfortunately I never got braces during my youth - however, nowadays I'm somehow unhappy with my face profile. I wanted to ask, whether you think it's possible that braces can improve the face profile or whether only surgeries will lead to changes?

I cannot really tell you, what I don't like - maybe it would be better if you told me what seems "strange" to me (yet, I somehow feel the chin to be too big and the upper jaw to be to "thin" or to be too much back).

Thank you very much!

I personally think you have a lovely profile. I don't know about your bite though, obviously, as it doesn't show. Do your bottom teeth come out a little further than your top or do they want to do that naturally when you aren't forcing a proper bite? If so, I'm quite sure there are options open to you. It doesn't seem obvious to me from your profile but you do have a strong jaw. It's not overly strong...it's more a Neil Patrick Harris jaw rather than a Jay Leno jaw, IMO. If you aren't happy, it can't hurt to have a consultation and see what they say.

It looks ok to me but I see what you are pointing at. Braces widened my arches and gave my profile and lip area a bit of a lift so if the same applied to your case it might help?

What is your teeth and bite like?

Hi,

thanks for your answers so far. Unfortunately I've some problems with my camera, so I cannot show a picture of my teeth right now. However, I can try to explain: In the front, one of my upper teeth is going directly on the lower teeth (it's a bit damaged) and one other upper teeth is going behind the lower one. The other front teeth are okay, however I seem to have only very little overjet, meaning, most upper teeth are in front of bottom teeth, but are somehow touching them too directly, if you understand what I mean?
Second, my velum somehow seems to be too narrow, at least when smiling you do not see many teeth; on one side in the back there seems to be a cross bite of I'd say 2 or 3 molars ... though I'm not an expert, I'd say the upper jaw is too narror and too small, or at least the arche could be wider .

Hi,

here are again some pictures (normal profile picture; and two pictures with teeth put straight together)

Maybe you can guess in how war braces would help to get a more aesthetic profile...(or whether I'd need a surgery)
