i had that, my teeth were pretty staright jus needed a bit of ironing out, then i got big gaps and looked like madonnas and gareth gates fuckin love child, the dentist soon fixed it when i started takin a radge
my top jaw was a bit forward so i got a removable brace i had to wear at night
there was a girl at school with really bad teeth, like bubba from forrest gump, you could see her gums 24/7, i think they 'shaved' her gums back or something, or broke her jaw, something along those lines
because having your jaw broken sounds a bit extreme..(and painful)
I have also had about 20 teeth out becasue there wasn't enough room for them (they were baby and some adult teeth btw). And I have a brace at the moment to help postion my teeth so that the operation will be more of a sucess.
I have to stay in hospital for about 4 days and then gotta recover for about 10 at home but I can't eat solids for ages. I don't know much about the op coz I haven't really been told. All I know is that my bottom jaw is being broken and moved forward a little bit and my top is being broken and moved back a little bit.
