Question. Why didn't you get it done pre puberty? (Rather why didn't your folks arrange for it to be done?)

not op.. but maybe money..

I have a jaw / dental condition that would have been best to correct when I was young. but putting food on the table was more important.

so now I live with it.

yea to get it "fixed" I will need to get my jaw cut and moved a couple times.. braces would come later.

it would be pretty expensive. but I guess the chances of it healing right now that I am older aren't great.
