I have been all around this site to see if there is anyone who has an overbite, overjet as bad as mine, I have even scoured google too! Either this is because my teeth arent as bad as i think they look or my case is that bad!
I will post pictures as soon as I have had my braces put on, as they make me feel so embarrassed but I will have the motivation to do it once I have started my journey.

How bad is it? Mine is pretty bad too and I am embarrassed about it. Which is why I rarely take photos or smile or leave my house!

I had a pretty bad Anterior Open Bite, which used to just be a minor overbite when I was like 13; before I got braces I was used to eating things with only my molars actually making contact, the rest of my teeth on top were in such a wrong position and they looked like they were at a bad angle.

Now I'm almost done and hope to be free in August.

Link below if anybody is interested in seeing how bad I had it and how it is right now.

I have overjet thats pretty deep, not sure on measurements as i had my last ortho appointment 2 years ago...long story! I also habe overbite, which im sure is partly due to not being able to clench teeth at the back as the teeth seem to lean inward. Also have top narrow arch, on one side the tooth beside the front tooth is angled inwards as it didnt have enough room. Front top teeth are all pretty narrow (social six).
bottom teeth arent so bad but angled inwards at the back and my canines are pushed so seems like they have no space to be inline with the others so they have grown slightly angled and are in front of the others. I suppose I say not so bad as u cant actually see them as my lip covers them!
