Hi,
As a child i had orthodontics i guess because my lower jaw had crowding causing one of my lower incisors to grow a little behind the other front teeth. They took it out and i was put on traditional braces for a few years while also using some nightly device (Now in the process of getting information from my childhood clinic to understand what exactly was done)
My question is, has anyone experienced something similar where they had orthodontics without many extractions, but still feel like it ruined their face?
I personally think i was a very nice looking kid before the orthodontic work, and i can't help but wonder how my life would have been without it. I am 21 years old now.
This was me before orthodontics:
This was me during orthodontics:
I have noticed that i have a flat upper jaw now and i have very prominent nasolabial folds despite being young, fit and healthy. Even in the after photos you can see my middle face being sort of "sunken" and nasolabial folds appearing.
If anyone has any idea how this could be reversed i would be very grateful. Serious answers only. I hope this thread can be useful for others in the same boat.
