My bottom jaw stick out more than my upper how can correct it?

Q. Heya im a 16 year old female and i have quite a severe problem with my jaw where my bottom jaw sticks out more than my upper. It is really affecting my day to day life as the years go on because i am becoming more self conscience. I was wondering what i could do to correct this problem and how i would go about doing it? Thankyou

A. This is known as a class 3 bite – I would recommend visiting an orthodontist who can advise you of your options which may include a surgical option to correct the jaw alignment

I don’t have that, but I woke up this morning all normal (sorry that I can’t help you ellie), but after less than 3 hours my lower jaw did stick out a little bit.
can anyone answer it?
it is just a half centimeter further out than normal, but it is wierd, can’t close my mouth correctly again because it stops at the front teeths and a part of the right back teeths.
any idea what it is?
