Do extractions on the lower jaw matter as much as they would do on the upper jaw??

so basically traditional braces most of the time will not cause recession unless you super super young. The problem is extractions, the traditional way of dentistry is to extract teeth in order to make room ( in the case of crowding which is caused becaue of a narrow pallate). After the extractions you retract the teeth into alignment. This can cause recession/bone loss/ a "flat" midface. Usually during development, less likely to effect your in adulthood. A better approach would be to expand the pallate in the case of crowding, and use self litigating braces for bite and teeth alignment.

Yeah rubber
Ortho said we won’t retract much js enough for the upper teeth to be same level as lower teeth = better lip placement

wdym retract “much” do u have any overbite? if so you want to drag the lower teeth forward not the upper back that’s a maxillary retraction

Braces do recess and it was proven since I saw a person I know go through it.
Best thing is damon braces if you really need braces.
