I have had a few teeth removed to begin orthodontic treatment with braces.
However, I recently noticed that my smile has become more gummy-like and that I have developed deeper under-eye bags (might be from my lack of sleep tho) and have been thinking about postponing my braces even though I only have about 3-4 months left of treatment MAX.
Instead, I am hoping to maybe get SARPE/MARPE + IMDO/BSSO (no ortho does IMDO in my city yet so still tossing up on whether to travel across the country to get it done or not) and dental implants to replace my extractions and THEN finishing off with orthodontics, probs invisalign because JFL at going clubbing with braces, don't want to look like a man-child
What is everyone's thoughts on this plan, and extractions in general? I should note I have a pretty narrow smile, and a weak mandible, hence the two appliances.
