<b>HOW DID I FIX MY OVERBITE?</b><br />
Jutting (during puberty).<br />
<br />
Let's look at the twin-block appliance; the twin-block forces your mandible (for those with an overbite, your mandible is retruded far behind your maxilla) to be in contact or aligned with your maxilla. Holding this position for a significant portion of the day, every day for a few months to a couple of years, will force your mandible to grow. In some cases, this appliance can even cause maxillary growth. <br />

<br />
Traditional orthodontics operate off the idea of retraction, meaning that, for example, if you have an overbite, traditional orthodontics will "fix" your overbite by using elastics to pull your maxilla backward in alignment with your mandible. So, guess what? Instead of having a shitty lower jaw and a better-off upper jaw, you just now have a shitty lower and upper jaw. By the way, you will suffer from sleep apnea and breathing issues since retracting your maxilla into the back of your skull; what a surprise, it will cause breathing issues due to a significant loss of oral volume. For those who had it even worse and got teeth pulled out of the upper jaw and then had braces used to close the gap created by pulling teeth... My condolences. <br />
In almost all cases, traditional orthodontics causes mild to severe recession depending on the methods used to fix overbites, crossbites, and underbites. Note that those with an overbite and underbite will most likely be hit hard with recession due to the methods used by orthodontists to "fix" their bites, which almost always involve using some appliance or force to pull something backward.<br />
<br />
However, the twin-block appliance was a rare gem found in traditional orthodontics that I support as it induces forward growth, unlike other methods orthodontists use to fix inadequate bites. <br />
That's one solution for your overbite; however, it's extremely hard to find an orthodontist who will provide the appliance as it's not commonly used and rarely works past puberty. <br />

<b>IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN, YOU CAN REALIZE THAT JUTTING IS ALMOST THE EXACT SAME THING AS A TWIN-BLOCK APPLIANCE. </b><br />
You are simply aligning your mandible with your maxilla. Now, all you have to do is build a habit of perma-jutting. <br />
<br />
Make sure to keep your lower teeth in contact, yet slightly behind your upper teeth. DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, keep your lower and upper teeth aligned, and DO NOT keep your lower teeth in front of your upper teeth.<br />
<br />
You will never want to stop once you look at yourself in the mirror and notice how much better you look when jutting.<br />
Jutt as long as you can, and eventually, it will become a daily habit; I have been jutting for years, and now I jutt 24/7, including during my sleep. <br />
This helped my overbite go from 6mm to 2mm in the course of a year. <br />
<br />
The recession caused the wrinkles on my skin; the extra bone growth stretched the skin over my face even tighter, resulting in the absence of wrinkles.<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT ELSE DID I DO?</b><br />
<br />
I fixed my diet for acne and used natural sea salt spray on my face every night, followed by moisturizer. I also make sure to keep a nice tan. I permed my hair wavy and became more mindful of my eyes; I lined up my eyebrows.<br />
<br />
<b>CONCLUSION</b><br />
This change in bone also had a significant impact on my front profile. My face is TALLER, not longer, and more defined. <br />
<br />
Nowadays, I get cold-approached by girls, and I live a successful dating life. Thank god I fixed my overbite.</div>
