i'm insanely anxious about posting here lol. i'm 19, turning 20 in july and i've had buck teeth pretty much all this time with my lower jaw being much shorter than it should be. i was never sure if it was related to my cleft, as i also have an older sister with an overjet and she didn't have a cleft.

i've always felt like it kind of 'ruined' my face. more than my cleft i'd argue. its what i got bullied for the most, and as much as i try to incorporate it into my art i just kind of wish i could look normal overall. i'm looking forward to getting jaw surgery one day, even if i'd be in pain. i'd like to know other people's stories, though. maybe it'd give me a different light to view my teeth in
