I’m not very well informed on how premolar removal works but please be cautious, I’ve heard lots of shit about them causing/exacerbating chin recession.
Can you tell me the reasons for your braces? I just don't think I can get by without removing my premolars. There's not enough space for the teeth, so my teeth are crowded.
Are you saying this as a 100% event after premolar extraction or as a possible event?
Almost 100%
I think you're wrong. Almost 80 percent of clinical cases involve premalear removal, and people do well. I think it's my fault for not sharing my case in detail. I have crowded teeth, meaning there isn't enough room in my jaw for all my teeth. My dentist recommended removing my premolars to make room for the others. Then the braces will fill the empty spaces with the remaining teeth. This means the entire surface of the jaw arch will be used. As I know, recession occurs when a tooth is missing from a certain part of the jaw arch, and in my case, it will all be filled with the remaining teeth. Please, now that you know my clinical situation, can you give me your assessment?
Why extract if not enough space? Why not widen so theres more space?
In my case this is impossible.
Why?
Sorry, I expressed myself incorrectly. I'm going to have my upper jaw widened, but even so, it wouldn't provide enough space, and that will be done once I'm wearing braces.
Id get a 2nd opinion if I were you
My father had them removed and his chin is recessed. I dont have chin recession. Wish you the best of luck after having them removed
Bro, your dad's chin was probably already recessed. Braces and premolar extractions themselves don't affect bone structure. Gum recession is discussed here.
Class II Overbite
Have you had crowded teeth?
