I have a 6 millimeter overbite and had both first premolars removed 2 years ago and my orthodontist recommended temporary Anchorage (TAD) device but I do not want to do that. I tried headgear but it gives me a bad headache so I'm not going to be using that. Do you think that my overbite will be corrected even though I do not have something holding back the back teeth? Is propel necessary to close the gap? how much should propel and TAD cost?

Answer: TAD's are probably the only solution and indicate a good orthodontist
