Im 15 & just got braces about a month ago. My canines are protruding a little but not a lot. My ortho gave me 3 options to fix my overbite. Wearing rubber bands, metal springs or extracting 2 upper 1st bicuspids. He said the extraction would take time off of needing my braces. I chose that. I am set to have the teeth extracted is in 2 days. AND I AM FREAKING OUT! I've heard all these horror stories about what could happen to my profile & that it could make my face sunken. Am I being ridiculous?
