Cosmetic! I will get braces next week for a slight open bite.

Hello! Welcome! I also have an open bite (from thumbsucking) and I also decided against surgery. My orthodontist recommended SARPE and upper jaw surgery to me, but I refused. These surgeries scared me too much. And I am also against surgery because my problems are mainly esthetic and not functional....
