Question

I'm really uncomfortable with my smile and want to do something to change it. I would like it a little more uniform. I'm in college right now so I'm looking at affordable options then once I graduate turning to more of an investment.

Individuals with lower or upper jaws positioned more forward or backward than normal due to genetic characteristics often require orthognathic treatment and jaw surgery. This skeletal disorder is addressed through both orthodontic treatments and surgical procedures. Additionally, jaw surgery is a suitable treatment for those with overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites.While it may not be entirely accurate to diagnose based on the photos you provided, it appears that your upper teeth protrude significantly while your lower teeth are not visible at all. This may be due to a discrepancy between your upper and lower jaws. My suggestion is to consult with a jaw surgeon and orthodontist to consider the option of jaw surgery. Without a proper jaw relationship, achieving an ideal and aesthetic smile may not be possible. Best wishes
