I had braces around 7 to 8 years ago. I am 23 years old now. I had partially impacted lower 3rd molars and recurrent pericoronitis so I had them extracted.Prior the extraction, I noticed my lower left second premolar had shifted lingually.My orthodontist also suggested there might be movement because of the lower thirds.
