Diagnosis: Cannot diagnose the extent of your malocclusion based on your very brief description. No two malocclusions are alike. Seek evaluation with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who can advise you as to the extent of your malocclusion and your treatment options. Sometimes what you want is not what you need. Seek evaluation by an expert.
