I has an inclined jaw. My lips are thick. I has a crooked set of teeth. People noticed my fully crooked mouth/jaw. For years, this is my biggest flaw. I felt insecure everytime I smile. Because of my inclined jaw, my gum & the whole set of my teeth were not in proper order. It hurt me sometimes because my upper & lower teeth/gum are not parallel. My inner chin(in my mouth) hurt easily. So, how do I fix this? Can I put on braces without correcting/fixing/plastic surgery my mouth/jaw? Thank you.
