Greeting everyone.
I'm the only one in the family with a very weirdly shaped lower part of the face. As i child I wore braces for 5 years. As active sportsman in youth I breathed my breath over my mouth. I've just recently realized the shape of my chin and face from my profile. How would you even precisely identify my problem? Would the techniques described on your site be a suitable for this case at all?
As a "salt on the wound" for me, and interesting thing for some of you searching for genetic links, I'll attach a cut picture of my (HALF) sister's jaw .
I thank you all for any opinion and suggestion. Greetings

Looks like overbite. Your mandible has a pleasing shape in and of itself, it's just trapped behind your recessed upper jaw.

Thanks for your reply.
Reading the forums I have mixed feelings regarding mewing for overbite. Do I need different approach for my issue?

Overbite is allegedly the hardest class of occlusion to fix regardless of the approach. I think you would benefit from mewing even if it didn't fully fix your occlusion. The depth of my overbite has reduced 1-2 mm after 8 mm of palatal expansion and a slight upward maxillary movement from two years of mewing.
Mirin your mandible. Far from a bad case. I bet your mew line is in the 40s. Have you taken it?

Thank you, but I'm very reluctant to look anywhere under my eyes currently. You were right - exactly 40.
Some palate widening may help for sure. It will open your arch which will then make your bite fit better by allowing your mandible room to jut.
This expansion will then have a chance to shorten your midface by increasing your interpupillary distance and pushing your upper lip forward since the mandible sliding forward would add to the lip support.
You're not starting from a bad place. What is your intermolar?
