if they are attached to your bottom jaw, then its because they are moving your whole jaw back so it cant go as far as it could before, or because the back of the braces is anchored to your teeth.

Is it possible to move the position of the bottom teeth relative to the jaw using braces to correct a weak chin?
Yes. That is what braces are for. It takes a while, but they do move.
Do braces align your top jaw and bottom jaw to make a perfect bite?
Not exactly. They align your top teeth and bottom teeth to make a (hopefully) perfect bite and a perfect smile. Re-aligning your jaw would require major surgery.
After you get your braces on does it hurt for a while after?
Yes a bit, your jaw will start to ache a bit after you get you braces, and you might not be able to eat hard foods for a few days but it will get better after about a week..x
Can a Herbst appliance be used when braces are on?
The herbst appliance is used to move your bottom jaw forward and your top jaw back. I just got mine a few days ago and it HURTS! Like its the most painful thing and you can have a herbst appliance on while having braces on too! I got braces on and my herbst on at about the same time. With a herbst, you have these like two pieces of metal that go around the tops of your teeth and they stick into your gums and hurt. They hurt because the dentist has to stick the metal part into your gum and cement the metal onto your teeth. Then you have a metal bar that goes across your cheek and connects to the lower part of your teeth with the metal part around it. And that is pretty much what the herbst appliance is and what it does to your mouth. Hope this helps! :)
I have an pretty bad overbite and usually stick out your jaw to counteract it. I'm thinking of going for braces But If they push back my teeth will they pull your jaw out as well.I have a weak jaw.?
It depends on how severe your overbite is! If is simple then they will just put braces on your teeth and can take any where from 1year or more. If your overbite is to severe then they may have to move your jaw that is a different surgery altogether...Of course you will tell them that you have a weak jaw and may give you other options.. go see a oral surgeon for your jaw and a orthodontist for your teeth. call first and ask to have a free consultations for braces.

You mean you have a overbite? Braces can't do that. Surgery can though. Contact you doctor. First they have to see how big the problem is.
