So, as it currently stands I have looksmaxxed fairly well, but my face requires a few finishing touches. I have an overjet of about 6mm and a slightly recessed chin. So my plan was to not get bimax or jaw surgery, but instead use Invisalign for the teeth and a sliding genio for the chin, which should get me across the line to human status.
However; the orthodontist has told me that in order to close my overjet to normal, they will have to take my wisdom teeth so they can move my front teeth back, while at the same time widening my arches as well. I know retracting teeth is a big no no most of the time, but the fact that I’ll get widening from a six tooth smile to eight makes it seem like it might be ok. I also watched a Mike Mew video where he talks about how removing teeth and pulling back can and does work FOR BIMAXILLARY PROTRUSION, which I would argue I almost basically have. He said the result is often quite nice and stable.
So I guess my question is, would it be low IQ to go ahead with the wisdom teeth removal and Invisalign approach? Normally the people that get screwed over by extractions have their premolars taken, but my wisdoms aren’t even erupted yet. Will it still effect my face badly. I’m 20 years old if that makes any difference.
