yyaassss!!

I'm new to this board, and desperate for help. My name is Chelsea, I'm 22 and have had my braces on for about 2yrs and 4 months. This entire time I've been setting up for surgery to fix my class 3 malocclusion (underbite) and fighting with insurance companies the whole way. I have a 9-10 AP discrepa...
