Tooth extraction instead of IPR can cause severe retraction of mouth in orthodontic treatment ? If I chose IPR for treatment , it will produce marked changes to the side view of my mouth ? Could you give me some advice about tooth extraction or IPR for my problem ?
Originally went to get braces to correct an overbite. My teeth looks better but my side profile bothers me. My lips protrude and my profile is very full and convex in naturd. I'm mid treatment & my orthodontist told me I have a bimax protrusion and that I need teeth pulled (most likely bicuspids) to fix it. Should I extract teeth or opt instead for IPR?
I have noticed that I have dark triangles for awhile but 2 days ago I just had my braces taken off. I asked my orthodontist if she could do anything to fix it but she said she wouldn't recommend anything such as IPR or bonding because nobody's going to see the dark triangles. Basically she just told me to chill. But I don't feel confident at all and they bother me a lot. Would a gum graft work for this? Or did there ever happen to be a case that the gum could regrow to close the holes by itself.
I have braces on for about 2 years. My midline is off and I consulted my orthodontist. He said that he could do IPR to fix it but it will cut off my enamel and make it more sensitive. Should I do it? Do you think my braces ready to be taken off? My braces are taken off next month. Should I ask for him to file my teeth? Thank you.
I don't really like the idea of grinding/shaving down (IPR (inter-proximal reduction)) a perfectly healthy, solid tooth...and I only have 2 weeks until my follow-up appointment to discuss with my orthodontist. Any information on this process would be greatly appreciated. If there are other options, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks Shawn ';0(
In my 1st consultation i was told that i needed to get 4 teeth extracted. I was also told that I could get IPR with/before braces & that my protrusion wasn't that bad. I am currently coming out of invisalign & they have not done a great deal of improvement (only straightened my teeth a bit but nothing to rid the protrusion) . I really need a direct answer .. Can a professional HELP ME
