I had buck teeth and went to the orthodontist to get it fixed. After 3 years they just took it off.

I had a pretty huge overbite. I had 2 premolars removed and orthodontic treatment, when I was a teenager. However, I had a removable brace, which I seldom ever wore. I was teased enough and even more when I wore it (braces were not all that common here then). As a result, I became an adult with an overbite and gaps. I had a fixed brace fitted in my early 30s and the problem was corrected in about 10 months.

Yes, a big overbite here but I had braces and teeth removed to make space so now it's much better.

My son (ASD) has "exceptionally large teeth" according to the dentist. Poor boy. It's in the genes, my 3 siblings also had braces.
