18M (time is ticking...)
- narrow palate/maxilla but no recession
- still have wisdom teeth but proper eruption is compromised by lack of space
- MARPE, palate expander etc... dont really lengthen the arch, only widen it, so idk if those would be an alternative to extraction cuz they wouldnt fix the lack of space
rn my dentist has advised extraction but i have yet to see a stomatologist, should i first get them extracted then consider damon braces or some expansion device or try to avoid extraction completely, and if then what should i do
cuz ive seen mixed opinions on it especially on the fact that it makes ur face collapse or not etc...
my knowledge of orthodontics is very limited so advice would be appreciated
