Is it possible to reverse what orthodontists did to correct overbite now that I am an adult? (photos)

Asked By:PsychGirl123 in Chicago, IL

I am 24 years old. In middle school I had buck teeth. I had three years of braces with rubber bands. They moved my teeth back, narrowed my once very wide (and pretty) smile, and filed down my teeth. As I’ve aged I’ve noticed my face has grown vertically and my cheeks have flattened. People stare like there is something wrong with the lower portion of my face. I feel like my beauty has been robbed from me. Is it possible to reverse what they have done? You can see the gummy bone where my teeth used to be.
