Hi there, I'm 24 years old. For many years I had a missing space in my back molar until it was bridged, I believe that's why I have been left with this current bite, it's giving me a ton of temple headaches nearly every day of my life. I was given a mouth guard by a dentist for night time, but I don't even think I grind. My bite is throwing the symmetry of my face off, it looks weird. Is it time I explore orthodontics and I've heard of these "Invisalign" braces, could they fix my bite issue?
