Hello, I have a very small bite and i think it causes me a few problems. My question is: I've now heard it was completely unnecessary to have my teeth removed, but how was I to know this at 15, I never questioned anything then. It may have also effected how my face looked - i.e my Jaw. So, with implants and braces, is it possible to have them put back, and would this effectively make me look how god intended? i feel like i've been robbed of a nice smile and face by this butchery! i'm now 30.
