Thanks everyone!

I had to settle on a compromise with regards to my bite.
You can't see it from the photo I posted.
I have a double bite. I notice it first thing in the morning when my lower jaw is relaxed and the occlusion is not good. Later on it gets better.

The more he tried to fix it with elastics, then other things would get worse.
It was either keep trying and risk more or just stop now.

There is always the dental option of getting the bite better.
Right now I am just letting everything settle before I proceed along those lines.

Life is a compromise.

Looking great Chris - the screw implant worked to upright that tooth then?

Congrats Chris! That must of been an awesome surprise!!!!!

Yes it did. Unfortunately, I may end up with a root canal and crown because that tooth was traumatized too much, with not having support in front of it and having a large filling in it already.

Whats interesting was that while it was attached to the screw it sorta stabilized it and the pain subsided. As soon as it was detached from the screw after my braces were taken off, I feel more discomfort in that tooth. So its probably gonna have to be worked on and I'll end up needing 4 crowns now! CA-CHING CA-CHING!

Congrats!!! Your teeth look great!
