I’m currently in orthodontic treatment with Damon braces and no extractions. Before treatment, my main issues were protrusive upper front teeth, an overbite, and one tooth growing inward. My upper teeth are now straight, and my lower teeth are mostly aligned while space is being created for another tooth to erupt. I have not started elastics yet.


Since treatment began, I feel that my midface/maxillary area looks flatter and less projected than before. I don’t have before-and-after photos, so this is based on what I see in the mirror, and I’m not sure if it’s a real change or just perception.


I’m wondering if retracting or uprighting the upper incisors during Damon treatment (without extractions) can reduce lip support enough to create the appearance of maxillary recession, even if the bone itself hasn’t changed.


Has anyone experienced a similar change in facial appearance during orthodontic treatment for protrusive incisors and overbite correction?

Its most likely a real change you didnt get reccessed its just the fact your jaw no longer has to compensate as hard for your overbite so its moved back into a more comfortable and supporting spot if your worried just get filler

Not in us, would extracting wisdom teeth affect me in a bad or good way looks wise

just try keeping as many teeth in your mouth as possible, as a rule of thumb you never want to get rid of a fully healthy bodypart.
 
The us is terribleI just said i am not in the us, and asked a question

Im missing a wisdom tooth, the bottom right one, the top 2 are fine, byt the bottom left is erupting into my molar, and it hurts pretty bad, what should i do? Is it bad that i was born without one wisdom tooth?

Remove the painful existing area and talking to your doctor about surgery
 
What surgery?
Im not strong enough in that area to give you medical advice please just see a licensed dentist or surgeon

i mean missing a tooth is probably a sign that somethings went wrong while you were being created (i.e inside the womb) , it's really unfortunate cause there is no fault on your end.
i would maybe consider extracting the opposite teeth that you weren't born with.

I dont need surgery at all? The extraction could be classified as a surgery but thats it, what are you on abt

i should just search some thing up before asking for opinions here, a quick google search tells you that "Having a missing wisdom tooth is completely normal and is often the result of natural evolution or genetics, known medically as third molar agenesis. Anywhere from 5% to 37% of people are naturally missing at least one wisdom tooth, meaning they never developed in the first place." so no nothing went wrong in the womb, but i think its the smartest choice to remover the one that hurts since it can cause inflammation and unbearable pain

I believe most humans are a only a shell of their former selves. nothing we do in this modern world would compare to the entities we would be if we lived like we actually should. I mean for gods sake having a recessed maxilla is "normal" by todays standards but it is not something that would occur were we growing as we should be.

sure, but having recessed features are a combination of bad genetics, nutrition and development during childhood, i don't think that being born without one wisdom tooth is that serious that it could be classified as something going wrong in the womb, i do believe that some ppl are just born without 1, 2 or rarely even all wisdom teeth, i was only born without 1

being born without 2 makes the argument better because that makes the skull symmetrical. the human skull is never perfectly symmetrical but having more teeth on one side of the face probably makes for a bit of a lopsided maxilla.

its in my mandible where I'm missing 1, i don't see any difference in symmetry, and also missing 2 would still mean something going wrong in the womb according to u, so how would that be more normal just bc it would theoretically be better for aesthetic reasons?

i mean it would more coincide with your argument that it is genetical, because lopsided development is not usually indicated as something that would survive evolution.

I mean your extractions also if your Damon braces recessed you bad enough get a cosmetic surgery

Only braces literally can not recess you to the point where you need surgery done, especially not Damon, and especially not without extractions is your brain located in ur ass? also wtf u mean by "i mean your extractions" what are you talking abt
