Thank you Dr. My daughter been wearing braces for almost 13 months now , and her teeth are straight. But she skipped not wearing the rubber for a month. Now the orthodontist is pushing to take two teeth because he claims that he is not seeing improvement in her overbite. Otherwise he says that he can no longer treat her. I feel that he just want get us pay more for something she doesn't need.
I think the orthodontists around me are concerned with #2. I have ONE top tooth that's crowded then a slight overjet because my top and bottom teeth are a bit portruded. I DON'T CARE. It makes lips look slightly pouty and I hate the sunken in face taking out FOUR PRE MORALS does. My bottom set of teeth alignment is literally fine, so 4 teeth extractions just seems way too much for the risks, but 3/5 said to do that, 1 said I don't need to, but he didn't even take x-rays, so he might be a quack, and 1 said they'll START OFF with no extractions, but I don't want to pay and then part way in have their removal sprung on me. The whole thing is so frustrating. I wish your office was around me
i had 4 teeth removed for my top and bottom combined because i had too many teeth in my mouth, to the point where my canines couldn’t come through when i was like 14/ 15 years old
I had two upper premolars extracted because my lower jaw was underdeveloped. Unfortunately my parents didn’t get me to the orthodontist when I was 13. I have the dished in look but usually no one will notice and I’m ok with that
Question 🙋♀️ How do forsus appliances work on my bottom front teeth? I just got braces a week ago, and there was no education info about all. I’d appreciate it.
Thanks for the great explanation! My doctor told me that my teeth are just too crowded so I have to extract all 4 first premolar teeth but I am a bit afraid that it will affect my biting ability when I am getting older. The doctor said if I don't extract these 4 teeth and wear braces now, in 20 years (I am now in my mid-20s), I might lose my two crowded lateral incisors? I am wondering is it worth wearing braces now? Thanks!

The Orthodentist wants me to extract teeth and the braces are put on the SAME day as extraction. Is that normal? That sounds so traumatizing!

If you are fine with the look of your smile and functionally your bite is OK there is no need to take out your teeth.
Crowded and over jet and over bite😂 got just the top 2 2nd premolars out

I’m scared for that because I’m getting braces😭
Is it normal for a 15 year old to have 4 extraction and if so can i ask my ortho to have my brace put on before pulling any teeth off
