How do I correct potruded teeth?

[Pavy2]

My teeth are potruded, I already have had braces with bands and wear my retainer regularly. What could I do to get rid of my potrusion?

if they are slightly protruded it is fine, it is normal to have a slight overbite. if you have extreme overbite or underbite, talk to your ortho about these problems.

idk what it is called but my upper teeth protrude more than my lower n my lower touch the back of the upper teeth when i bite down.

practice holding it in your mouth correctly, make sure they arent perfectly on top of each other (this will cause grinding and wearing down of enamel), instead slight protrusion. but it is a temporary solution

It could potentially make your face look different

You could potentially get the extraction then surgery

But that’s gonna be really expensive

doesnt the extraction mess up youre side profile or is that with the braces?

go to an orthho if its extreme surgery may be needed

ortho said if i want to fix, i need premolar extraction+ braces, i dont think that is worth it.
