My bite is worse after braces! How can I correct my bottom bite and get my lip back? (photo)

Asked By:Miss_L in Los Angeles, CA

I wanted to extract the right, lower wisdom tooth that moved my K9 tooth out of place, but my ortho removed a front lower tooth instead to make space for K9. The result is now my bottom lip curls under my top bite! He shaved down my 2 front upper teeth to close a miniscule of a triangle- unnecessary! So my lip would've been invisible if left in its natural state. Extracting the LF tooth worsened my smile. I'm extremely unhappy, more self-conscious and need to correct this asap. What do I do?
