First of all, i just turned 18, i used an expander when I was a kid but it wasnt enough i guess. I have an overbite with a slightly overjet as you can see in the pics. Basicaly my dentist want me to extract my 2 upper wisdom teeth and then put me elastics to fix my overbite, i asked an expander but He said it wouldnt be good cause my palate is already expanded and it would mess me up (crazy how he even said about upper pre molar extractions lol). What should I do? Should i get an expander? If so, how could it help me since He said it would First of all, I just turned 18, I used an expander when I was a kid but it was not enough I guess.

•What should I do? Should I get an expander? If so, how could it help me since dentist said it would cause me reverse cross bite. Last pic is the elastics He told me to use (im not using it i just put it there to get the pic and took it out).

I've heard clav say wisdom tooth extraction is law, I'm against extractions as well but why do you think him and others say ts shit
Lestoa's thread mentioned wisdom teeth removal being necessary because if you leave them in bone resorption happens which limits your bone mass. However, this doesn't apply to your primary, visible teeth which should NEVER be extracted. IMO if you're hardmaxxing with a bimax then you should get your wisdom teeth removed anyway.
 
Don't get extractions at any cost, find new orthodontist if you can
Yh ik that i shouldnt get extractions guys, but i wanna know what should i go for, an expander maybe? I also want someone to elaborate if it will cause the damages i mentioned or will my teeth align, then what i should do abt overbite
 
Get rid of braces and don't remove teeth, stop trying to correct your bite, it doesn't affect your looks
