Hello everyone! I grew up with an underbite and am missing both my lateral incisors. I was 20 when I was able to start orthodontic work. I was a candidate for jaw surgery, but my orthodontist decided he could fix my bite without it. I now have a great bite and am getting my implants placed! Although I am overall happy with my results, I still feel as though my face/jaw is asymmetrical. My ortho mentioned midface deficiency and jaw reduction. I also don’t like the way my eyes look when I smile.
