When I was in 5th grade I discovered I had an overbite, however my gums didn't get irritated or anything. Other than that, my teeth are fine - straight, in line, no spaces.
The dentist refused to give me braces, stating that I'm too old for them (!?!?!). Whatever... Now I'm 22 and my lower left wisdom tooth is coming out. Gum gets a little puffy now and then, but it's ok and it seems to come out straight.
I've been reading around on the net and everybody says that it should be taken out, since it's a dangerous and useless tooth, but since I'm not having trouble I thought I keep it.
Will it ameliorate my overbite? Or is this pure fantasy? Should I keep it?
