I had braces 2 times now and my bite still feels misaligned. Terrible pain by my ears near my jaw, trouble chewing, and TMJ. I mouth-breathe because of airway congestion and it messed up my facial development. I hate my side profile so much that I avoid seeing my reflection anywhere. My front profile is not bad, but I can tell it would be improved with cheek implants, nose job, chin correction, and maybe DJS would cover all concerns. My ortho says I just want surgery for my looks.
