My ortho has installed loops in the wire of my braces to "pull" back the front teeth, since I had rubber bands earlier to pull the mandible forward and that left a huge gap. I don't feel like this is a good procedure, and after 1 night of sleep I already feel like I can't close my mouth correctly
anymore (I literally cant chew!! Front teeth now sit on the braces from the backwards pull)

I had buck teeth in my early years, which the ortho thankfully fixed without any extractions as per request.

What can I do, and what should I ask my dentist to do if my only insecurity is basically my jawline?

Thanks!

I put an example down I found online so you can see what it looks like.
