Protruding upper jaw/recessed lower ?

Hey mums,
my baby (8 weeks old) has a very recessed lower jaw. The upper jaw seems to protrude forward quite a lot and theres a really big overbite of his gums.
he breastfeeds well
I am quite worried for him , especially when the teeth come through as It looks like the lower ones would be pushing into the roof of his mouth, theres such a gap.
Does anyone know much about this? Or had something similar.
Can it improve with time?
many thanks!

Visit a dentist when your little chap is one year old and has some teeth...or sooner if you want to hear an opinion earlier.
