i am 16 and sucked my thumb till few months back i got rid of that habit 2 or 3months back.....but i think its too late..i have an overbite and a gap in my front teeth ..my lower teeth have also shifted ahead a little..i went to my regular doctor (not an orthodontist) she said mine is extraction case ...so if i want to put braces i will have to get removed my 4teeth as there is no space for the teeth to shift back and get aligned ..i didnt understand that ...the dentist added that my upper gums are ahead so even if i put braces those gums will remain to be inthe same position and only teeth will shift back ..it will look bad so suggested to not put braces ..but i want my teeth in a straight line ,,,...so dont understand what i should do?>>plz can u suggest something?? plz help......
