Hey Gang - I thought I would share my experience.

I had an underbite since a little kid and in highschool is when my jaw began to grow even more.

I saw about 5 orthodontists and they all said I needed surgery, so we slapped braces on the bottom just to fix some spaces and I decided to leave it, since my family could not afford the surgery.

Well here I am 30 years old and making OK money so I decided to fix the one thing that has always bothered me.

Again, I saw about 3 orthodontist and 1 oral surgeon and they agreed I needed surgery.

Until I got one more opinion and this orthodontist said he could fix my bite with just braces.

If he couldnt' get it with just braces than we would do surgery mid way and go back to braces after.

About 8 months into my treatment, my top teeth were above my bottom. I was really impressed.

Now 2 years later, my bite looks perfect and I get them off shortly. WIth the use the of archwire, rubberbands, etc. he made it happen...

Just goes to show that you can never get enough opinions...

I'll see if I can find some before and after pictures.
