36, choosing Damon 3, no jaw surgery! (Crowding and Overjet)
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 11:55 am
So, after a whirlwind couple of days of making decisions, I am going to get the damon 3 brackets to correct severe crowding and an overjet.
I originally went in wanting invisalign, and decided against it due to my lifestyle which I'm selfishly not willing to change: nursing coffee along in the morning, etc.
I was told I would need lower jaw surgery to correct my bite (lower jaw did not grow enough), but after some wavering and research, I've decided against that, too.
I've seen lots of cases like mine online which have achieved great results with the Damon 3 braces, though my orthodontist says she will be unable to fix my overjet with braces alone. I'm just thinking that it is bound to be better than it is now!!! I don't see how my overjet won't be reduced with the Damon 3's.
Anyone else have my experience and end up happy with your results to just go braces?
