Re: Edge to edge HELP
Have you looked into the Inman Aligner? It looks like that may be a good idea for you.

Um, probably! The only way to know for sure, though, is to go for a free consult with your friendly neighborhood orthodontist.
FWIW, if you're concerned about your bite specifically, I don't think the Inman Aligner is a bite-closing device. It is for rotating and tipping crooked/crowded front teeth.

Okay thank you for the advice, would my bite be able to be corrected with just braces then or some sort of head gear ?

Re: Edge to edge HELP
I really couldn't say. An orthodontist would have to look at your teeth and your x-rays to come up with a proposed treatment plan for you. If you're 100% not willing to wear headgear (I'm guessing from your question, and I'm not saying I think you're a headgear case) and he is recommending it, tell him that. There may be alternatives.

Thanks for all the advice I'll book an oppointment with the orthodontist
I'm currently 16 years old with a little bit of growing left to do, I saw this video online and my case is not as bad as this so it may work, considering my age. Plus would it be cheaper to get that appliance and the headgear that having braces, as braces can be very expensive ?

Re: Edge to edge HELP
Good luck to you! A good ortho will usually give you several treatment options and price points for each, and most of us here have consulted with multiple orthos before beginning treatment.
Re: Edge to edge HELP
It is doubtful that you'll be able to avoid braces. As has been said, you really need to just go consult with an orthodontist. A lot of your treatment plan depends on factors that can't be seen in some quick photos.
