Main issues - crowding in my uppers and overbite (Can't see my lowers when my bite is locked) - I have TMJ.. most of my desire for braces was for cosmetic reasons but I would love if my TMJ improved (I wake up with a very sore fatigued jaw everyday - and it gets fatigued and painful, pops, clicks.. locks often) Ortho did say this may not improve and she cant guarantee it wont get worse too. Shes seen it go both ways. I also have a narrow smile... just hoping for overall confident smile

However! I'm terrified... I talk a lot at both of my jobs, I need a bite plate which ive heard is horrendous.. Any advice on adjusting to this appliance is much appreciated!
I get braced on Tuesday and it's coming super fast - i'll post some pictures of my teeth (embarrassing!

Thanks for reading!
