I have had orthodontic work in the past. I have had four second premolars removed and all four wisdom teeth out. I got braces everything went well, didn’t wear my retainers so everything is kinda shifting back. I also have a small mouth and a cross bite. Anyways , just recently noticed it’s still very hard to floss even if I have 24 TEETH! What should I do? I even have crowding again, should I remove more teeth, get Invisalign or just forget about it.
