So i went to an orthodontics and he classified me with a class 2 malocclusion ( aka i will need a jaw surgery )
however he wants to extract 2 premolars from the lower jaw to push the teeth backward while extracting none from the upper jaw .
i asked him why exactly . and he replied with the typical 'tooth crowding' and if he pushed the lower tooth out ( widening the arch as a camouflage ) then my BSSO advancement would be lesser
i tried to argue with him that i would have both jaws advanced anyways due to lefort 1 which would increase the BSSO advancement
he replied that even if that is the case a tooth extraction for a better jaw advancement ( 3mm more ) will always give a better result compared to a non extraction treatment . and that is the reason why he wont pull out my upper jaw premolars .
to actually create a bigger gap between the two for the surgery.
and he would not extract any of my teeth if i opted for the non-jaw surgery treatment and would simply push my lower teeth forward . (camouflage which is shit )
What is your opinion regarding this ?
i am hell of afraid of bone recession due to extractions.
But i dont want to lesser my BSSO advancement too . and if the maxilla got pulled too forward i would end up with a chimp face
