    UPDATE: Its been 2 years since I got my braces and a few weeks ago I got my upper braces removed and I’m sooo happy about the results, I feel like I can smile freely now. My bottom teeth are not completely straight yet but I’ll get rid of the bottom braces soon. After they took the braces off I got a wire behind my teeth so that they stay in place! C:

      AJdG so far everything is okay and no bad effects. I don’t see any differences facial wise and there’s no negative effect on my tongue space. The gaps are all closed except one which is really close to being closed. Overall I think the extractions were good for my case of fixing an overbite because there wasn’t enough room. My orthodontist also said that the extractions would help make my upper lip protrude less but I have yet to see a difference in that regard.

      Camila Gonzalez not too long. I’d say about 4-5 months. I was worried about it too but I found that it wasn’t super noticeable anyway when I talked like no one ever said anything or noticed unless I pointed it out. Given where the premolars are located I wouldn’t worry about it. I tested it out in the mirror a few times and practiced talking just to see and the gaps weren’t noticeable.

    I was in pain for 14 years because an othodontist recommended to pull 4 of my perfectly healthy adult teeth. I had straight teeth my issue was a slight crossbite on my top arch. After he pulled my teeth he left me edge to edge and I couldn't close my mouth and I had muscle spasms, shooting nerve pain and my tongue didn't fit in my mouth so I would have to put my tongue to the side and it would hang out of my mouth. It misaligned my joints in my jaw and I lost some of my hearing. I was is excruciating pain for so many years and he didn't even fix my crossbite which was the reason for seeking treatment to begin with. I was 24 when I got the braces and in 2 years I looked years older than my age (26). I tried to sue the othodontist but it was impossible to get another orthodontist in my state to testify against him. I went through hell for years! I was a prisoner in my own mouth. I tell everyone if an othodontist is telling you to pull teeth RUN and get a second and third opinion and go to a surgeon which is one thing the othodontist discouraged me from doing. We have 32 adult teeth in our mouth for a reason! Not only does our teeth live in our mouth but also our tongue and the tongue is a muscle and is stronger and needs comfortable space. The tongue has nerves and blood vessels and can affect your whole body. Go to an othodontist that uses DAMON braces or self ligation braces that don't believe in pulling teeth. This experience affected the quality of my life in my 20s and into my 30s until a very nice office manager at a new othodontist office who was seeing my 6 year old approached me and asked if I had ever had braces and I told her my horror story. They wanted to help me get out of pain and I've gotten my life back and been in Damon braces for 8 months. There's a saying that you don't have to pay to smile but it my case I did. I paid painfully.

    @ashleyfwalter 5 лет назад +21

    I had extractions done(4 impacted wisdoms and 4 premolars) due to severe over-crowding. I was incredibly nervous but my orthodontist explained it just as you did. I just did not have the jaw space because of how large my teeth were and I am in my mid 30s so an expander wasn't an option either. I get debonded in a month and I love my smile so much. My profile and jaw shaped changed a little(for the better!) and my arch widened so much. I used to bite my tongue dozens of times each day while eating and talking and I haven't in years since getting braces. Totally worth it!

    • @KeirMenzies
      @KeirMenzies 4 года назад

      not about teeth. it's about face. It's not needed, as you can expand. Expanding instead of extracting stops facial lengthening (eye to mouth) growth and instead encourages horizontal (ear to mouth) growth x

I also have no room for my tongue in my mouth anymore. I am now two weeks post braces.

      Tooth extraction should be stopped! It does more harm than good and over time the face sinks in.
      It affects facial appearance and beauty negatively.
      Our genetic blueprint is perfect, the reason we don't have enough space in our jaws is due to environmental factors growing up such as:
      1. Mouth breathing and improper tongue posture which leads to a narrow upper jaw, crowding and lack of forward growth(and a host of other issues)
      2. Our modern diets. We are not chewing on tough foods as much as our ancestors did.
      3. Bad head and neck posture (forward head posture)
      Never extract teeth. Instead focus on expanding your maxilla(upper jaw) which will allow more room for your teeth, which will also help your lower jaw move forward for a more optimal bite. Find an orhtodontist that shares this pholosphy.
      DO NOT EXTRACT healthy teeth. You will regret it down the line.
      Thumbs up so everyone can see.

    @AwesomelySweetYve 4 года назад +2

    I have to get 8 teeth removed. I have 2 molars on the top and 2 molars on the bottom that need to be removed to fix my over bite and asymmetry on my jaw. Also, I have to get my wisdom teeth removed since the gum sits on top of some of the partly erupted teeth. It tends to make my gum swollen and food particles would get stuck and hard to remove causing the wisdom teeth to get infected. I wanted to get all 8 teeth removed since I have to get 4 teeth removed for my braces. I wanted to get it out the way to avoid having to get them removed once I have the braces on. But my orthodontist doesn’t suggest getting all 8 removed at once. I just feel like by the time I’m done with these braces ppl would probably not recognize me lol. I was really worried about getting 8 teeth removed since doctors frown upon that but it’s necessary. I’ll have to leave my braces on for 2 years. I’m just glad that I’m getting braces during my adult years and not when I was younger. Kids at my school were so mean 😫😫. Anyway wish me luck.

      2. Our modern diets. We are not chewing on tough foods as much as our ancestors did.
      3. Bad head and neck posture (forward head posture)
      Never extract teeth. Instead focus on expanding your maxilla(upper jaw) which will allow more room for your teeth, which will also help your lower jaw move forward for a more optimal bite. Find an orhtodontist that shares this pholosphy.
      DO NOT EXTRACT healthy teeth. You will regret it down the line.
      Thumbs up so everyone can see.

    hey Greg! today , I went to my orthodontist for my monthly dentist appointment and today I got my bottom braces! because I have a pretty strong overbite, I wasn't able to close my mouth without the top two front teeth colliding with the bottom two teeth's brackets , so in order to solve this , my Orthordontist put in this filling of my back teeth he told me was a "pillow" for my teeth which stops the front two teeth from colliding with the bottom, he also says it's a "temporary" fix , I don't know what he used but he used a syringe to fill in the back of my teeth and cured it with a light. It's white too. Just getting my bottom braces hurt a lot but hurts even more because I can't close my jaw properly like I did comfortably before because of this "cushion" . Any tips on how to reduce this massive pain? Every time I open my jaw after biting down or relaxing my jaw hurts and aches, :( it'd be amazing if you could explain what it is in my mouth and how to reduce pain! Thanks !

    Determining When to Extract Premolars in Class 2 Camouflage Treatment.
    __________________________________
    In cases with an end-on-class II molar relationship, extraction of the maxillary first premolar and the mandibular second premolar may be selected as treatment options (# 14, 24, 35, 45 extraction) to improve the molar relationship. Before the orthodontic treatment begins, premolars are extracted first and the orthodontic treatment may be started. However, in some cases, timing of extracting the maxillary and mandibular premolars may be different for specific purposes.
    1) Extracting maxillary first premolar first if there is a high risk of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
    If the patient's lower jaw is unstable and the CO-CR discrepancy is large so Idiopathic condylar resorption might occur during orthodontic treatment, the mandibular position may shift backward during orthodontic treatment. If this problem occurs after the mandibular second premolars are already extracted, it can be very difficult to close the mandibular extraction space while maintaining normal overjet. Therefore, if there is a concern about the problem of mandibular position change, postpone the timing of extraction of the mandibular second premolar. If the mandibular retreat problem occurs, switch the treatment plan to not to extract the mandibular second premolar and cases can be finished with Class II molar relationship. However, when using this strategy, it is necessary to reinforce the anchor so that the maxillary posterior teeth is not moved forward to the extraction space during the leveling phase.
    2) Extracting mandibular second premolar first for early improvement of the posterior relationship
    If the extraction is done in advance during the leveling phase, the extraction space will naturally decrease. This is because the posterior movement of the anterior teeth and the anterior movement of the posterior teeth to the extraction space occurred. If this is used in purpose to move the lower posterior teeth forward during leveling after extracting mandibular second premolars, the molar relationship can be improved early and the subsequent treatment can be simplified.
    When do you extract premolars and in what order and in what logical considerations in Class II cases?

Kind of seems like I’m losing my chin, in a sense. I did have an extreme overjet on top and crowding on the bottom. I got 4 extractions and all my wisdom teeth! For the most part I’m satisfied but I’m afraid of the face change! Will everything come together once all the spaces from the extractions are closed?

He said that was fine we could just straighten them out. But now 7 months in and my teeth have straightened out it almost seems like the protrusion is more prominent.

    I have a question. I was 21 when I had my first consultation for braces and the ortho said he wanted to take out four teeth - the premolars. I assume that was to create space because I have crowding on both top and bottom, with it being worse on the bottom. After the consult, I realised I couldn't afford the price he was charging, so didn't proceed. Now I'm 25 and have gone to a different practice for a consultation because I'm not happy with the cosmetic side of things with my teeth. Between the two visits my wisdom teeth have started to come in, with the bottom two impacted, top left erupted perfectly and upper right coming in now. The second practice want to remove all four wisdom teeth, which I expected and have surgery booked for, but when I told them the other ortho wanted to take out four premolars, they said they wouldn't need to do any other extractions at this stage to straighten my teeth. If they do, it would be tooth 21. Practice 1 wouldn't give me an estimate of how long I'd need braces for, while the other said nine months. My question is, should I be concerned that these two practices have such different plans for my teeth?

    2) If I were to extract, after extraction and braces period, will there be any case that the teeth/gum become loosened ( if that makes sense ) and lose its shape??

      Hold crap extraction/retraction on an adult?? Make sure they leave you enough tongue space. Little old to be removing facial structure huh? DNA appliance would've done the trick, advanced your palate out and forward, making you look YOUNGER.

    Hi. How do we know if the overbite/overjet is caused due to mandibular protrusion rather than teeth alignment?

    I'd love a video specifically on profiling the teeth. I need braces, but approaching 30, my palette is most definitely fused, and I am not in favour of extractions or surgery if it can be avoided. I have a crossbite basically everywhere but the front, with no room on the bottom and a little crowding on the bottom front. My third molars are fully erupted, and are in line without issue however, but with no space behind them. My top two third molars have plenty of room behind them, and are also fully erupted.

    I went to a maxillo facial consultation and the clinician told me that to make more room in my mouth (as I have narrow dental arch) extracting my wisdom teeth won't give me the enough room needed if I was intended to have braces. She also said to create room in my mouth a dentist normally extract the canines.. I don't understand..

    I have a next question for ya!
    Do we have to remove our 3rd molars (Wisdom Teeth) or keep it depending of how big our jaws are? I can see the crown of my 3rd molar in my bottom right.

      NO. Don't remove wisdom teeth unless they start to cause health problems. Pulling out wisdom teeth is how dentists make money. Wisdom teeth are not unnecessary and they should never be amputated without reason.

      2 of my wisdom Teeth are growing like a normal tooth would. 2 on my other side are growing a bit at an incorrect angle. I asked this question because I think the 3rd Molars that are growing vertically might cause overcrowding. But thanks anyway.

      I will highly recommend going to a specialist in teeth correction. I am 100% sure, the reason for my overcrowded bottom front teeth is because of my wisdom teeth. I mentioned this for 3 different normal dentists when i was younger. And they denied this, although i could feel the teeth moving, while the wisdom teeth was growing.
      Now years later. I just got braces, and just from wearing small elastics, for making space, to put som kind of metal around a tooth in each side, i could feel the tension in my front teeth. So yeah. Pretty sure, i was right. This is a lesson to myself, if something do not feel right, it does not matter what whoever says differently, even if they er are dentists. Get a another opinion, from a specialist, who will listen to you.

    Weirdest thing, my doctor extracted 2 top 1st premolars but on the bottom only 1 premolar on the right side not the left. Drives me crazy because I have one less tooth on one side of the mouth than the other.

      I had an overbite and overcrowding and it was more prominent on the top, so he extracted the top two premolars first. And then when the spaces were closed, we noticed that my bite didn’t align correctly so he recommended we extract one bottom premolar on the left side to fix my bite. Right now I’m still in the process of closing the bottom gap, if it works out great he said there wouldn’t be a need to extract the other bottom premolar. What’s your case?

      @@abraarbathawab336 I've only had (adult) braces for 5 months but before he put them in I had the 3 extractions. Dr did say it was for overcrowding on the bottom jaw but I always find weird he only removed one side and not both. The bottom gap is still there. He just says he doesn't need to remove the other side and that at the end of the treatment it will look okay. (Part of me wants the other side extracted too because it drives me crazy that they are not the same.)
      I do have an overbite and overjet we are hoping to correct without surgery as well. Sorry so long. Thank you for sharing your story with me. It helped.
