I need your advice
I’ve been wearing braces for 2 years and I’m finally getting them removed in 2 months. Although you could think that’s a good thing, it’s really not, as I still got an overbite. I talked with the orthopedist and they don’t even plan on fixing it, saying it’s “normal” to have upper teeth slightly over lower teeth (even if it’s pretty drastic in my case). I’m now clueless and pissed, as I thought wearing braces would fix my recessed chin and jaw. Is there any way without surgery to improve my recessions? Should I switch orthopedist? What are procedures that could combat this problem?
