We were at the ortho and I have an overbite and recessed jaw. Keep in mind this is 1 year after I got all my wisdom teeth removed and my mom won't let me get any palatal expantion or double jaw surgery because "looks don't matter" and it would be too much of an expense. Keep in mind we are not even poor, my parents live very well off meaning they could easily get the surgery.

Should've lied about having health issues. But it's very sad to hear this.

1. This almost definetly won't change her mind but show her some real statistics, proof that lookism exists heavily.

2. Get the surgery without her permission when you're older enough, don't let her stop you from your dreams (sounds corny ik)
