So, I have an overbite, I was struggling and kind of hating myself for having it.

I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my upper teeth are more in front than my lower teeth. I searched this up and apparently is called an overbite. After this, I was thinking maybe I should move my jaw so that my teeth align cause I I looked much worse with an overbite. Even tough I looked better this way, when I opened my mouth I could see that only 2 or 3 teeth touched each other, the front ones were still separated by some blank space, same thing with some other teeth in the back.

​

But my jaw is getting tired, can't stay like this 24/7, so I decided today to just own it. I stayed normally, without forcing the jaw to move forward, because at the end of the day, that's who I am!

​

To my surprise, girls seemed more engaged when we had a conversation, and flirting was much easier. Friends often were teasing me for making some funny faces when I was pushing my jaw forward, once I stopped it, the jokes stopped too.

​

This is kind of strange because I definitely see myself better in the mirror while pushing my jaw forward. What is your opinion on this stuff? What should I keep doing?

P.S: I know you are probably saying that I should wear braces, but in my country they are very expensive and can't afford it.
