I want to correct my overjet , treatment options? Would Damon braces work without extractions? (photos)

Question

I have overjet class 2 my orthodontist prescribed me extraction of 4 premolars but I don't want to, no space in my mouth. I'm afraid of facial changes. Are Damon braces going to work on them without extraction?

by seeing yr pics i feel you have class 2 malocclusion with increased overjet. in such cases first step is growth modification [ if pt is in growing age]. or only upper premolar extraction. its my advice to upload full face side view photo, so I can guide you better. damon braces is only for mild to moderate cases. if you have proper class2 molar relation in that case damom will not work without extraction.
