So lost a lot of weight at 17 and noticed that while I have a prominent jawline it is skewed, one of my ramus sticks out so I have maloclusion. Complained to parents and after one year managed to get braces finnaly, Journey was MSE, then top braces, bottom braces , elastics, i sadly had to get 4 tooth extractions which were premolars, it was that or wisdom teeth so yeah, anyways afterwards, I had elastics put in to bring my teeth more forward, even If i lose some projection that’s fine since symmetry > projection. Anywas went to dentist and talked about when should I get surgery and bla bla and he said to wait until Im finished and maybe I dont neeed it, anywasy talked to parents and they started crying about some “You’re gonna ruin your face “ with surgery jfl acting as if its any good and talking bout recovery like a few months of suffering isnt worth a lifetime. Anyways is my jentist correct and maybe I dont need it or is it just pure coping, Im 20 now for refrerence so yeah, have had braces for 2.5 years now, also dont DNR or your a fag
