Female , age 23, height=160 , weight= 45 kg, skin= combination , round shape face. I already done off braces fiveyears ago for front teeth gap. Now i feel like i have bimaxillary protrusion.. So I want to put braces again without molar and premolar extractions. Is it possible?
I am 31 and have never liked my protruding mouth and want to correct it... I am now considering plastic surgery to fix it but I had rather go through a non-intrusive procedure such as braces if they can fix the problem. I used to wear braces as a child but I could not go through the whole treatment so my teeth could never get aligned properly. What would you advise? Thank you very much!
I have to get bicuspid teeth removed. I am against that because extractions creating my space then I need. looking for 4mm of retraction. Ive had wisdom teeth extractions don't want 4 more teeth removed? Are there other options out there without extracting teeth? Expanders for top and bottom jaws? Damon braces? I had orthodontist who suggested getting TADs without getting extractions. I'm scared about that option because I've read about molars tipping back, chipping, and even receding gums.
I currently have braces to try and fix my class II malocclusion. My orthodontist reccomended to have upper premolar extracted to reduce protrusion of my upper front teeth though he said I did not have bimaxilslry protrusion, but to me it looks like I do. So I wanted to get more opinions. Also, I decided not to extract upper premolars but Ill be 6 months into my treatment soon and Im having second thoughts on my decision.
Hello, I'm a 30 year old woman who had bimaxillary protrusion treatment for 4 years. I had my 4 teeth extracted. I used to have plump lips and cheeks, however now my lips looks narrow and thin with lower alignment, my cheeks are looking sunken. I have saggy skin around my lips. When I speak, my lower teeth shows all the time. I'm very unhappy with the results, I can't even look at the mirror anymore. My treatment ended last year, is there anything to reverse this treatment back?
I didn't include the picture of my x-rays in my previous post. So I wanted to add it to get a more accurate opinion. My orthodontist had recommended extracting upper 1st premolars to retract teeth for overjet, but considering the possible negative side effects, I don't want to extract them without really needing to. Additionally, I'm also wondering if I have bimaxillary protrusion & if this could also be resolved without extraction.
My lower teeth and crowded and results in the lower front teeth to be sticking out, which makes my mouth protrude more, would braces solve theis issue or the protrusion of my mouth has to be solved with double jaw surgery.
I am a 21yr old F.Black&German.It was always credited to me sleeping with my mouth open&tongue pushing my front teeth.In my youth no dentist ever saw it as a problem&never recommended braces when asked.I first heard the term BP when I was 19 .I finally have the means to get braces but upon researching this I am stuck.Most of what Ive read has said that BP can only be fully fixed with surgery.Getting braces means losing 4-6 teeth&looking older with a dished-in face? Is surgery my best option?
Hi! I have bimaxillary protrusion and I want surgery to fix it. I previously had 3 molars removed in braces treatment but, I didn't finish the treatment. So, my teeth were never moved back. The spaces closed on their own but my teeth remained fairly straight. I am open to braces but do not want to ruin my sharp jawline and chin. My chin aligns with my forehead but my lip protrudes about half a fingernail and my top lip lines with my nose. Is reopening the extraction possible? Any help?
I'm 27, female, have Bimax protrusion and narrow arches. I was recommended by my orthodontist to extract my 4 premolars and wisdom teeth and be put on Damon braces. I have heard negative stories about extraction and am worried the extraction will cause my face to sag, get sleep apnea etc. Please advise if there are alternatives to fix my Bimax protrusion and narrow arches. Thank you
