yep I had bimax protrusion and my top teeth mostly covered my bottoms (plus my jaw was very round) You're right, I had an orthodontist appointment this Wed and he told me my braces are going off in 6 weeks! :D Super excited about it but my teeth are very sore, he put a lot of bends and put the thick...
