I just realized I have malocclusion.

Hello, I am a 34-year-old woman! I recently found out that I have malocclusion. It doesn't show on the outside, so neither I, my family, nor my acquaintances knew that I had malocclusion.

But I recently met someone new who works as a dental technician, so I got to know.

The upper and lower teeth do not touch? There is roughly a 0.2-0.3mm gap. I heard this is also called malocclusion.

Come to think of it, I can't bite into things, so I can't eat hamburgers or sandwiches easily, and I can't eat kimbap comfortably either. Haha. The onions or tomatoes in hamburgers or sandwiches, which don't have shells to chew, or spinach and chives in kimbap, aren't cut up, so they all end up in my mouth in one bite... lol.

I'm seriously considering whether it's worth correcting now, so I wanted to post this. I'm curious if non-surgical correction is possible and how long it might take.
