I am 18 and i have a mild underbite. My bite is still somewhat functional but it really bothers me. For the past months ive been going through the public healthcare trying to get bimax but they just told me they wouldnt operate on me since they think it might "worsen" my profile and that there are too many risks involved to perform such an invasive surgery when my bite is still functional. I have told them to send the xrays and pictures but i dont have them yet. Right now its like my teeth are shifting and its really affecting my confidence. My growth plates are almost closed and im wondering what you guys think i should do. Im contemplating getting the surgery done in another country but its still pretty expensive. I have another appointment in 6 months where they will take a look and compare the models to see if my situation has worsened itself. They wont give me braces or expanders since my bite is functional but the problem is that in the past year i have my lower jaw has grown too forward and my upper front teeth are sloping towards the lower ones.
