Asked By:jonasfan23 in California, CA

I'm super worried. I was already missing a tooth prior, and then my ortho decided to extract the other 3. Also I have never removed wisdoms. I asked the opinion of my aunt a regular dentist, & my dentist who did the xtractions for their opinion, & they both agreed with it. I have always been self conscious of my "monkey mouth" profile so i just went ahead & did it. But now reading everything online now I am terrified. What kind of effects will it have on my face? Can i do anything to reverse it? Implants?
