Hi guise,
So I was at the orthodontist and i received bad news. I was interested in ivisalign because my teeth are not straight but it turned out that I have more serious issue. My bite is uneven. When I bite, one side of teeth touches and the other doesn't. He told me that it will take 2-3 years to fix and that i will have to wear rubber bands with the ivisalign. On top of that my upper wisdom teeth will have to be extracted.
I asked if we can do this w/o teeth extraction as I am reading that it can screw up the face and he said we need to extract them because we need to move the upper teeth backwards. Basically if we don't extract the teeth I will end up with overbite.
Won't this screw up my maxilla (can i end up with sunken mouth/face) ? Shouldn't the correct procedure be to get the teeth straight and then get surgery for lower jaw to fix the overbite ?
I found this thread were this issue is talked about https://looksmax.org/threads/how-or...bands-are-stunning-your-maxilla-growth.61889/
I am not that worried about my teeth being perfect, and I have a good beard wich makes my lower third looking good. Is this shit even worth going into ? Because I don't feel like doing it just to get the teeth straight which are not bad to begin with. But he said that it should be done because it will cause exessive/uneven wear on teeth which will need to be replaced eventually because of this so idk.
so questions:
1. Would u recommend me to even bother with this or just leave it ?
2. If i go do it should I go with the rubber bands and teeth extraction or just do invsalign w/o bands and then surgery ?
