I am confused about tooth extraction or IPR for my mouth protrusion which is not severe? (photos)

September 19, 2019
Asked By:Pwintsonethin in Yangon, 17

Tooth extraction instead of IPR can cause severe retraction of mouth in orthodontic treatment ? If I chose IPR for treatment , it will produce marked changes to the side view of my mouth ? Could you give me some advice about tooth extraction or IPR for my problem ?
