I am 18 years old. Since I was little, I had always had a slight open bite problem (not an extreme case though). When I was younger (13-14), I used braces to straighten my teeth. In addition, I had to use some little rubber bands attached to the braces so that the upper and lower teeth could meet and therefore the open bite could be corrected. At first, everything seemed perfect, since the open bite apparently was fixed. The braces were taken off and for the first month nothign occured. Then, the upper and lower teeth started drifting apart and the open bite problem appeared again. I wanted to die. So, I decided to use braces (w/ rubber bands) again to correct the problem. The dentist said it will only be for about three months, but I ended up using them for about a year and a half. The braces were taken off and everything seemed normal. But I just discovered that the open bite has returned. What can I do. Is there any other way of fixing this? I am not willing to use braces again. Thx
