<s>[INST] Hi doctor, I have a quite wide open bite. I am 24 years old and want to get them fixed with braces. The open bite is so big that I can thrust a pencil in my mouth with my teeth closed. I have attached a photo for your reference. Will it require surgery or can it be fixed with braces? How long will it take to fix them? [/INST] Hi. I have seen the picture you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity). For further information consult a dentist online --> </s>
