Reversing the damage done from extractions for braces. (Photos)

dganit12345May 23, 2018
I did tooth extraction in the upper jaw for orthodontic treatment . I am very unhappy with the results. Is there any way to reverse the damage that has been done? Could the extraction sites be opened and replaced with implants or is there any alternative ways to regain my facial aesthetics and broaden my smile by going another route?What do you think about the treatment? and I am from Israel
