I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I am a 26yr old female from the Chicago area. I have a Class III with bilateral crossbite. I wanted to start this whole process when I was younger, however my Dad didn't think it was a big enough deal and didn't want to spend the money on it, sooo...I am doing it myself now. I had my wisdom teeth removed in November and got braces in the beginning of December.
As far as the braces go, I am on the damon system. My ortho thinks that she can completely fix my bite and cosmetic issues with just orthodontics, however my dentist is not so sure and neither am I. My ortho's husband is an OS/ Maxo surgeon so working closely with the two of them would be very easy, as they have a dual office. I spoke with her the beginning of this week about going to get a consult and she wants me to wait until treatment is almost done to see where we are. I am projected to have my braces on for 24 months and am 6 months in...
