No: We see patients with all kinds of dental issues like yours-- these can be addressed. Ask your orthodontist about possibly slimming the teach and widening your bite.

Not likely: Small mouths with larger teeth are two of the biggest reasons that cause orthodontic problems: so it is incredibly common. You will likely adjust to orthodontic treatment like anyone else, quickly and with not much discomfort. Worth the ride, enjoy!

Not necessarily: Braces come in various sizes and shapes. The fact that you have large teeth and a small mouth may influence the treatment plan but should not cause problems for you other than opening wide enough for the orthodontist to work on you. The larger teeth allow a longer distance between the braces which will make the movements more efficient and allow for better cleaning ability.
