Asked By:seanbakery in Ireland, IE

I got my braces off about 6 months ago which fixed a bad overbite due to tongue thrusting with help from my orthodontist I was able to fix my tongue thrust. As you can see in the pictures I have these white lines which I am insecure about. I feel as if my gums are also swollen above my front teeth. Would extractions fix this ? Please help
