during your treatment, where previously you had a "normal' bite, you suffered from an overbite - I was trying to chew through some spaghetti the other day and realised that the reason I was having so much trouble is that my top incisors have been pushed "outwards" and I now can't use them for cutting unless I jutt my jaw forwards and bring my bottom teeth in line with them!
I asked my Ortho about them last night and he said that its compeletely normal because there is no room for them to move anywhere but forwards at the moment...
They better! Leaving me with an overbite that I didn't even have before would make me a rather unhappy person, lol.
I get my SureSmile scan next appointment so I'm hoping they'll be able to show me what my teeth and bite will look like after they map out the last few months of my treatment. It should be really neat to see.
