You have a great smile and still manage to look good in braces. I know I said it before but I'm glad I found your videos and to find someone who has some of these problems other than myself, and it looks like some commenters deal with it too. I honestly can barely tell you have an underbite but then again I never noticed mine until an Orthodontist pointed it out so maybe it's just me lol

@Reeves92 I actually had no idea I had an underbite, but I never had an overbite, my teeth just touched. Its crazy the stuff you find out when you start this process. My underbite changes all the time with the decompensation. Its a very weird feeling lol

I'm just wondering when you first had braces at age 15 did your orthodontist tell you in order to close your bite you needed jaw surgery, or it wasn't until your bite opened down the road?

@MilezToGoFan At the time my orthodontist told me I would never have an overbite unless I had jaw surgery, but he also told me it wouldn't be worth it because they would just move my bottom jaw. Turns out he was really wrong about that lol

Hello , I'm so happy for your excitement... I am in the last stage of the processes you are about to endure. And let me tell you gal the braces is the easiest part, the surgery which I just endured 2 weeks ago was the hardest . I've had my braces on for a year and 7 months now since late July of 2010 my teeth were pretty much straight like yours... also what has actually taken so long is the prosponeing of my surgery twice in may 2011 and December 2011 due to school and work related delays.

So finally I went to see my Orthodontist ... we finally agreed no surgery for now to fix my overbite... and i ll just have braces for 10 months.. and will need to wear lingual retainers on my front teeth/my upper jaw for the rest of my life ... to help support the teeth

10 months is not so bad :).... I can survive it :)
