I don't but, I catch myself jutting my lower jaw forward when playing video games or mixing. I don't realize I'm doing it until I take a break or stop altogether, and then I notice my jaw hurts like mad.

That sounds pretty bad, actually.

I went in to an orthodontist's office today, hoping to get Invisalign to fix my underbite... and she dropped that bomb on me. Now I'll be needing orthognathic surgery.

I do this fucking stupid "dodge" thing when I play video games. Like... in a shooter, if a rocket comes flying past me, I dodge my head as if it's actually coming at me. I can't seem to control it. Pisses me off.

A significant amount of people do this, actually. Hahaha... It's just called "getting TOO into the game". It's a great feeling, though. It's like you're always on the edge of your seat.

That reminds me of watching adults play Nintendo when they'd move the controller in the direction they want the on screen character to move.

I used to do that when I was a kid...now the only time I move the controller is when I'm firing it against the wall.

Back when I used to play video games I had a horrrible temper, especially in the dorms when we had head-to-head NCAA football matchups. I managed to knock 3 PS controllers out of commission due to giving them a toss around the room

I have the opposite. My bottom jaw is smaller than it is supposed to be.

Are you sure your jaw's not normal size and your head is bigger than it's supposed to be???

I have the same bite as this. My lower jaw is back a bit; Like a miss bite. My jaw is pretty flexible though, & usually sits forward with the top incisor teeth. Sometimes I get lazy & it slips back & flush up against the top molars.
