This is my second time with braces. The first time I was 12, now I'm 24. My bottom jaw grew more than my upper jaw, so I developed an underbite (I think), and some teeth shifted a little. This got much worse after I had my wisdom teeth removed.
I just wanted to check in with the board, for what I have read people are great here and there's lots of info. I'm happy for being able to fix my teeth once again and I think it doesn't look too bad. I went for all metal since I smoke a lot and I was told they were faster.
