Answer 2

A deep bite is like an overbite, but possibly more extreme?

Mal alignment means they are crooked.

Midline deviation means your front teeth don't line up where they should.

That doesn't make your teeth terrible, and having braces is so worth it. I had a deep bite with a recessed jaw and major crowding, and my teeth are perfect now. I am really happy with them and it was all worth it.

I was 18 when I got braces, and I felt really silly for being so old with them, but I just kept telling myself that it would all be worth it in the end, and it was. I have so much more self confidence now.

Answer 3

The first answer is totally right.

I had braces for 3 years
