Hi all!
I finally went back to the dentist after decades, and everything is going really well. I really appreciate everyone's support and I have only minor issues to fix.
HOWEVER, it has now come to my attention how orthodontically messed up I am (probably should have braces as a kid, but I doubt my parents could have afforded them). I am going to see an orthodontist in June after getting my other stuff done.
Question is, does ANYONE else on here have an open bite or any experience with such a thing? I am perplexed about mine, as both parents have told me I barely sucked my thumb even as an infant. I do not appear to have a deformed jaw-at least I don't THINK so. I don't have any problems speaking or eating, but now I am obsessed with the stupid open bite. It is not practical to have jaw realignment surgery with six weeks off work and activity.
Thanks in advance-this group has helped me so much! Ha, at least I only had two cavities after thirty years...
