before i got braces i got 2 upper teeth extracted and they basically retracted my upper teeth backwards recessing my maxilla and i get my braces taken off in 2 weeks and genuinely don’t know what to do im currently 15 rn got braces when i was 12 and was rlly fat back then and never took pics of my side so idk if i was already recessed but i don’t remember my nose being how it is it just like slopes down. Should i consult with another orthodontist that deals with airways/ jaw development

if they've already removed your teeth there's not much you can do, yes go to an airway doctor. marpe and reverse pull headgear may help

Same happened to me, extractions suck man. Although I’d say that there’s any significant difference, I also removed two teeth from the top and two from the bottom but my face hasn’t changed all that much, maybe it’s just facial development rather than the extractions themselves.

i realized changes in my nose my friend had sent me a picture of a random pic of the side of my face that he took during 7th grade (when i got my braces) and my nose was straight now my nose slightly curves down after treatment. I'm already going to consult for marpe and reverse pull head gear.
