Learning Mandarin with an underbite

Hello everyone. I have been interested in Chinese for a long time, and a few weeks ago I started to teach myself Mandarin. Something I am very concerned about is pronunciation. I know I can't expect to sound like a native speaker after just a couple of weeks, but I am worried that I won't be able to reach a level where people can comfortably understand me.

I have a slight underbite and I had my teeth adjusted with braces in high school. They're straight now, but there is a 3-4 gap (guesstimate) between my upper middle four teeth and lower four teeth. You don't notice unless I close my jaw and show my teeth, and I can speak both my native tongue (Swedish) and English fine. I know Mandarin has a lot of different s and sh sounds though, and I have trouble doing tight sh sounds since my teeth don't touch. Does anyone have any information about this? I tried googling but nothing comes up.

I can't imagine that no one in China has the problem as me, and I'm sure they can be understood anyway. I am just very worried that I keep studying and will never be able to speak with people properly. :(

Is there an English title for this poem?

I recently read 勤學詩 by 宋真宗. I want to share this with a friend who doesn't speak Chinese. Is there an established English title for this poem or can I just do my own translation?
