Reversing the Damage Done from Extractions for Braces

February 17, 2010
Asked By:shires

I had extractions and braces at the age of 22. This was my third time having them and 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?
