Did you take the picture with the same kind of camera/phone? Your head as a whole looks a little different which makes me think that you did. There's also more shadowing on the right one.

Dont worry, regardless.

Wait, which is the photo before the braces?

pretty sure its more likely the case that your teeth were straightened outward, thus pushing your lower lip outward, making it look like your chin moved inward (which i don't think is a thing that can happen).

if there really is even a difference. you also kind of look like you gained weight.

also why did you take a side profile picture before the braces? how did you have the foresight to compare these things

Yes it is the same camera. What do you mean different?

I don't know. I hope it will go back to normal and their plan for correcting my overbite isn't pulling my maxilla backward, but my lower jaw forward.
I didn't gain weight per se. It may be that I gained facial fat, though I don't look that different from the front.
I was just already a bit insecure about my profile back then, so I took photos. I got good feedback then though and it passed. Now I took photos again and it looks a bit different - even though the changes are subtle, I think they fucked my profile a bit.

I will tell you that, in my opinion, you look much more handsome in the photo on the right due to the very slight changes. But I understand the changes may not be physically comfortable. Also, you don't look bad in either photo, don't stress about that - it's in your head. But I do like how you look in the one on the right more.

Ha, thanks. Maybe the changes aren't as visible as I thought. To be fair I also had a short goatee in the pic on the left, while I trimmed it down recently, so maybe it influences my perception? Well, even if they did pull my chin back a bit I hope they will fix that back when addressing my overbite.

To me, you don't look like you have an overbite in the photos. Also, an overbite is less pronounced when your chin is pulled back, so I'm not sure what you mean.

The more I look at them the more I'm unsure if there's really a difference now that I realized you do have a little goatee. Are you just worried about how it's making your face look? If so, don't worry about it, you're handsome either way.

And yes, I'm sure at least to some extent your perception is warped due to you worrying about it.

Oh, I do have an overbite, or maybe more so an overjet.

> Also, an overbite is less pronounced when your chin is pulled back, so I'm not sure what you mean.
An overbite is usually accompanied by receding chin as the lower jaw is retruded. My top front teeth are a good distance ahead of my bottom front teeth; when I thrust my jaw forward so that the chin is more in line, the teeth also start touching each other in what I assume is a more correct position. This is what I meant by hoping they will pull my lower teeth and jaw forward to correct the bite.

Ohh sorry, this whole time I was confusing overbite with underbite.

Yeah man, I thought so. Either way I think it won't do harm to talk to my orthodontist about this.
