Severe jaw recession is really tough to deal with without any surgical procedures.
So first you have to anwser:
- How old are you
- How bad is it (as @retarded_incel) said.
- What is the cause of the recession
For example, it might be a dental problem which causes mild recession, this can be fixed with orthodontic treatment.
Or, it you might be an adult with dental problems that were never fixed, in which case surgery might be your best bet. Orthodontics can always help somewhat, but after you're done growing it's usually just small camouflage for the real problem.

Hello im 14, Thank you for answering, I wouldnt say it was severe, But it is mild i have told my mom about this but she doesnt think its serious and doesnt mind it and gets angry at me aswell, That just pisses me off even more, I have misaligned mandibular teeth (also mild) but dont have an overbite, I also just discovered i snore. I know im still a child but i care alot about my looks, I do not want to be looked down by mates ever again, Please if you know anything about fixing it tell me, Im willing to do absolutely everything if that means chewing gum all day and etc.

chewing gum will only make things worse, it's mostly a made up thing so people can sell you "hard gum"..
you need to get evaluated by an orthodontist, i know your mom isn't supportive which is tough so you'd need to figure out a way to convince her. misaligned teeth and jaw recession is especially easy to fix at 14, so good treatment can genuinely change your life. You're at a stage of life where changes actually stick. Other than that eating healthy food (nutrient wise) and good tongue posture will help.
Hello, im currently 14 Turning 15 in november 30th. My jaw recession i would say is mild not close to severe and all that stuff, My mandibular teeth are slightly misaligned. And i just found out i snore, If that helps. Thanks for replying!
Hello, Sorry for not replying earlier Its not severe to the point my chin blends into the neck, But my chin doesnt align with my lower lip and it doesnt look symmetrical, I dont know how to explain it, But if you look at mild Jaw recessions you would understand what i am talking about, I am 14 and turning 15 in november, Thanks for replying!
You are still growing so I’d say fix your habits, if your palate is narrow consider a MASPE, I wouldn’t worry about surgery just yet.. also snoring may be a sign of your nose being clogged so check it out.

Since you're still growing and 14 when u go to the doctor next week with ur mom let them evaluate the issue get something like MASPE for narrow pallate or damon braces if u need braces try to keep good tongue posture 24/7 except for when yawning or eating/swallowing and learn how to chew and swallow correctly too Gl
