Overbite and teeth crowding: what would be the best course of action to improve side profile? (photos)

March 3, 2022
Asked By:Eclectic4538 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I’ve never had any cosmetic surgeries. I am aware I had quite the overbite and teeth crowding when I was younger and received braces treatment as a teenager and also did it again around 26 years old because my teeth shifted. I am wondering should I have had jaw surgery along with this and if perhaps I can get it covered under benefits.
