Braces or invisalign? I went to two orthodontists recently, and I was told that I could remove 1 premolar on my right bottom teeth by one orthodontist. Second orthodontist told me I need to remove 4 teeth (2 bottom 2 top) or shave 10+ teeth in order to make space to fix the crossbite... (my bottom jaw was told to be protruding a lil). I would really appreciate some advice.

Answer: Avoid Amputating Teeth and Contraction Orthodontics: Consider DNA Appliance and Expansion Orthopedics/orthodontics
Just like ingesting any foreign objects, as long as it’s not sharp, our bodies will process them through our GI System. Our digestive enzyme and acid will not melt or digest a “chewie”. You’ll pass it out. chew away!
The discoloration must be on the surface. Are you brushing after every meal? Your dentist can clean this away in an instant. Also you might consider placing whitening agents in your aligners. Your teeth will whiten but also any surface deposits will bleach as well.
