I went to several hospitals, but no one talked to me about protruding teeth. They all just told me to extract 4 teeth and put my mouth back in.
Then, at the last hospital I went to, they looked at me very thoroughly. They explained to me that the reason I had protruding teeth was because I had a protruding jaw. They said that I should first get orthodontic treatment to protrude my jaw a bit without extracting my teeth.
I've been receiving treatment for a year and a half now and I'm really satisfied. In fact, it doesn't hurt as much as I worried before the orthodontic treatment. I wish I had done it sooner.
If you're worried, I hope you visit several hospitals and make a good decision!
