Hey love, I had a similar problem but it was diagnosed when I was very young, and had an expander and close to 8 years of braces to fix it!.
Yes, your back teeth will wear down and this will become a problem!. I had it happen to my front teeth, but luckily they were just my baby teeth!. So you will want to get this treated ASAP!.
My friend recently had the jaw surgery, but thanks to a new technique she didn't have to have her jaw wired shut!. She did experience some discomfort but nowhere near as much as she expected!.
It changed the whole construction of her face (for the better) and her teeth and jaw are perfect after 6 months!. The only damage she carries from this is that she can no longer drink apple juice after having way too much in hospital haha!
I strongly recommend that you get this fixed, best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok 1st I didnt look at your photo!. 2nd when I was 16 I had surgury for a underbite, they broke my jaw and widen it and wired it shut for 6 weeks!. It was painful but they give you the meds needed, I lost way to much weight, got down to less than 89lbs!. I would gladly talk to you by email about this, It is scary but worth it all!. Please if you have any questions!. My yahoo id is tkclark71Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is called an openbite!. Yes, it will probably take surgery!. It probably will be a little sore and uncomfortable for a little while!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
