does tooth extraction surgery recess your jaw?

[hotelbreakfast1488]

i have a tooth extraction surgery in july. idk which teeth are being pulled, will update on that when i can, but my friend told me it recesses ur jaw
ps, is a palate expander a substitute for tooth extraction?

Any teeth other than wisdom teeth will recess your jaw. Palate expansion definately eorks., but I think you need surgically assisted palatal expansion due to age.

yes tooth extraction is usually due to crowding cuz u dont have enough space in your mouth. A palate expander would be great based on your age you might get marpe or rpe. If you extract your smile will be narrow too it will not look very nice

Lol good luck convincing your dentist to give you a palate expander, would go to a orthodontist instead

the palate expander might not make enough room in the specific area the tooth needs to be in. Im not sure though, I dont have enough information.

There are other expansion routes that you can go down to make more space. Not just a expander
