Asked By:1stabeer

I had my braces off three years ago and results were amazing ,, my teeth were crowded so they used expanders and everything was fine .. But now my lower jaw grew and it led for some sort of a bimaxillary protrusion that i really don't like ,, i took two opinions and they both suggested that i should get 4 premolars extracted along with my wisdom teeth. Will negative side effects such as TMJ and a shrink in profile face occur ?? plzz helppp
