I seriously need help shits wild

So, what happened is that three years ago, I got braces. They were meant to fix just my underbite. I cannot stress enough that the only reason I have braces is because of my underbite. So after about a year, I started on rubber bands. The bands really helped me out, and within months, my underbite was entirely gone. I NO LONGER HVE THE UNDERBITE. I HAVENT HAD THE UNDERBITE FOR OVER A YEAR. The underbite was, in fact, the only reason I have braces. The fuck do I do now? They say it'll be way longer even though the problem is fixed. Being patient isn't an option, the braces are causing dental problems at this point. My orthodontist won't take them off and I am freaking out. What do I do?
