Continued progressio: Continued progression of the condition eventually leading to periodontal conditions, further malocclusion, possible tooth loss it is easily correctable by your orthodontist, so if financially feasible, i would recommend treatment.

It depends . . . : Without seeing your teeth, there is no way of knowing the severity of your malocclusion. It really is a case by case scenario. Please see an orthodontist to help determine your risk of other dental related disease processes associated with not having braces. Not having braces does not guarantee consequences. You may be just fine without them. An orthodontist will help you the most.

Possibilities: Most common would be abnormal and/or excessive wearing away of the enamel on your front teeth. This can occur on the edges of the teeth - shortening them with time or thinning the enamel on the back of the upper and front of the lower teeth; thereby, weakening them.
