Hi, your description suggests that you have a mismatch between your upper & lower jaws. Either the lower jaw is extra large or the upper jaw is relatively small or a combination of above two factors. You need to consult an orthodontist. Braces can definitely help however if the problem is severe then a cosmetic surgery may be recommended. Please discuss it with your orthodontist. All the best.
