Q. As a result of childhood thumbsucking, i have a severe overbite problem with my front teeth. Unfortunately, due to being so unhappy with my appearance i foolishly decided to neglect my teeth in the hope that the problem would go away to the extent they are now in a poor condition. I have belatedly realised i would like to address my dental problems. I appreciate that without an examination of my mouth you cannot provide me with a substantive answer but i would very much like to know if orthodontic treatment and surgery would be possible. Thank you for any assistance,
