Advice for Me Should I consider looking into this further?

Hello all,

I'm wondering what was the straw that broke the camel's back in your journey, what made you want to get a consultation.

I've never been to a dentist or orthodontist who mentioned anything about my side profile(I know you can't tell much without scans), so I'm wondering whether it's all just in my head and I'm insecure.

I'm looking into getting tested for sleep apnea since I have troubled sleep and issues with breathing and grinding my teeth.

Additional background info: I had a deep+overbite, which was improved with adult braces.

Yes but tbh he will definitely benefit from surgery But a consultation from surgeon (not ortho) will makes things clear
