October 29, 2011
Asked By:txgirl83 in Houston, TX

The treatment it's been almost a year already with braces, my face is too narrow and small because of the extraction of the 4 bicuspid, can i still reopen the space again? since all of the canine moves into the premolar spot, except the upper have space left from the canine haven't closes yet. I can see my face the more the space get closes the more my face get slimmer and looks horrible, should i stop the treatment now or i continues? No other ortho from tx wants to take my case bc of lawsuit.
