I'm gonna visit the orthodontist in a week because bimaxillary protrusion fucked up my bite. Like on the left side of face none of my teeth touch and on the right side they touch and grind on eachother with 1. Moves the teeth and 2. makes my masseter super tight, almost like I have tmj
I know extractions + braces are the most common solution but I saw this image on reddit:
and it still didn't fix the problem. Maybe its because she's asian and this problem is a lot more prevalent in her community but I'm just worried that the orthodontist is gonna extract my teeth and put me in braces for another year after I already had to wear them for 18 months.
are there any alternate solutions to this? or is there anything I should ask the ortho before doing the procedure so my face bones don't get messed up?
