4 Premolar Extracrions + Braces and Advice Needed

[muneydeez]

When I got braces, I got my 4 premolars extracted and it was due to having a bimaxillary protrusion. Was this a good choice? Am I cooked because I got my premolars removed even though I had bimaxillary protrusion?

yes this is pretty bad

idk how old you are, but go see 2-3 airway focused orthodontists and compare their opinions and potential plans for your case

premolar extractions are always 100% due to a narrow palate or inadequate jaw development, its retarded that orthos would choose to extract than to fix the core problem with palate expansion and/or bimax

And also don’t you think I should wait till my jaw stops growing until surgery?

dont have to larp anything brah if you had premolar extractions and visible recession any competent ortho will probs recommend surgery. just do research on the best surgeons in your country and what orthos they use

Oh I see, but by severe enough, does this mean I have trouble breathing, bite issues, or what would make it severe enough?
