You need to first get a series of X-rays and then decide about the nature and kind of surgery that will be required for you.
Based on your symptoms, it can be decided on weather to go for a skeletal expansion or only dental expansion.
Next Steps
You need to consult an orthognathic surgeon or oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Our clinic can help you with the same.
Health Tips
It’s a optimal age to do a surgery only after xrays and consultation.

You need to get OPG and Lateral cephalometric radiographs done and have a combined consultation of maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist. You can get a fair idea about deficiency of your lower jaw and modes of treatment as well.
