When I was 15 I was told I'd need lower jaw surgery, chin shaving, two upper incisors extracted and wear braces for two years. None of this occurred - I am extremely happy about this now. I will be seeing two orthodontists this month and I've done some research - looking at my teeth/mouth I'm guessing I will need a palate expander or rather I'm hoping. I absolutely refuse to have surgery or long term braces. What kind of treatment do you think I will require? How long do you estimate?
