My daughter had an overbite–can’t remember the technical term for it–and was in braces for 4 months. When the harsher wire was put on she complained of terrible pain and her jaw locking up. We went to see Dr. Coffman who consulted with our orthodontist. He agreed to take off the wire for a while. Maria did her magic on the jaw a few times over the course of a few months and when we went back to the orthodontist the jaw had moved to the place he was hoping to get to by using the harsh wire. This was done without any wires at all! If you are considering braces please see Dr. Coffman first!
