My bs orthodontist had 4 premolars removed for braces (a purely cosmetic procedure mind you) at just before 15, which based on my growth patterns would have been tanner stage 2, going to 3 (would put myself in tanner stage 3-4 now at 17). said that my teeth would flare with a palate expander but with my knowledge now it sounds like they didnt even consider skeletal expansion or my bone age being low for my age because of late puberty. my mom hates Looksmaxxing or whatever from her discovering some things i do and my online activity and has a skewed sense of what its all about and that its "bad" because i "look fine" and i have "body dismorphia" then proceeds to treat braces like it literally isnt purely cosmetic. she only wanted them so my teeth wouldnt look weird when i went into senior year because "thats how it was for her and when she was a kid". literally ruined my life and got mad at me asking for skeletal expansion or going to an airway orthodontist. well today i got my braces off and its horrible. it doesnt even look good and it seems that my palate not only is narrow, but also short. its so over. braces really are a middle class curse, and now i have to wear a perminant retainer. as soon as i turn 18 im getting MARPE + Facemask even if its cope. please help and give some advise
