I've heard about people getting fucked up by a moneyhungry ortho so I'm double checking
never get teeth extracted for whatever reason. also lower jaw expansion is impossible
My lower jaw was too short(not narrow) on the right side so it literally wouldnt fit according to her. Her suggestion was tooth extraction and then fill with braces. Only thing im questioning is if i shouldnt just keep on turning
im sorry could you give me an example? i have no idea what youre talking about
NEVER DO THIS, I had this done on one side of my mouth and it has fucked my face forever. my face has become asymmetrical and i regret my decision till date. if you gotta get it done atleast do it on both sides and expand more
Did you have this?
no i was missing a canine (rare genetic mutation) and thats why there was a gap which was filled w braces. I wish i got an implant instead
Yeah the problem for me is theres just not enough room for the tooth. (its already asymmetrical cuz one side is shorter)
yeah ive seen issues like these get fixed with braces. the easier/expensive option is yanking it out. but im not an expert, get a second and third opinion if needed.
Who can i ask for a second opinion
a different ortho. preferably far away from the last one.
ight, and if its absolutely necessary i'll probably extract my 1st premolar and not my upper right lateral incisor (better for midface projection)
remember, never necessary unless its rotting or extremely infected.
Yeah i have the same question but i think it might be cuz my maxilla is just too short on that side. Who knows tho maybe i can fix it.
