A member asked:

Braces problem, small mouth big teeth, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orthodontic Rx: Next time choose different parents. Oh, well, there's nothing for it but to see a qualified orthodontic specialist for an evaluation and a discussion of the various treatment options that would work best to correct your malocclusion. Go for it!
