I will be taking off braces in 2 weeks (2 months earlier) as braces ruin my face, i aged, sunken cheekbone (severe, looks like skeleton). I wanted to ask if I am not wearing retainer will it bring back my previous face (at lease close to, more fuller I hope). i dont have any extraction but lined up teeth, closes some gaps. I hope if i am not wearing retainer may at least shift back my teeth to where they were. Thanks!
The treatment gave me a sunken face. I completed my traditional braces treatment (metal wires with rubber bands) around May 2020. After my treatment, I slowly noticed that my face was now sunken in, and made my facial asymmetry much more noticeable and worse. Is there a way to reverse the retraction treatment? I had no teeth extracted during the process. My orthodontist would only inspect my teeth when I was laying down, and only checked to see if my teeth were straightening which is why my face changed drastically with treatment.
Hello, I'm a 30 year old woman who had bimaxillary protrusion treatment for 4 years. I had my 4 teeth extracted. I used to have plump lips and cheeks, however now my lips looks narrow and thin with lower alignment, my cheeks are looking sunken. I have saggy skin around my lips. When I speak, my lower teeth shows all the time. I'm very unhappy with the results, I can't even look at the mirror anymore. My treatment ended last year, is there anything to reverse this treatment back?
I thinking about getting braces to reduce my slight mouth protrusion (common in asians). I talked to several orthodontists and it seems that extracting 4 teeth is necessary to reduce protrusion. But I saw online that a lot of people got negative profile change (called braces face?). How often are negative changes?
So I've been with braces for three months now my dentist said I need for premolars removed (4 ,13,21, and 28) I'm really scared about it now for the pain so much but for all the stories I read on the internet about sunken face I fell my face is way to long now
I got brace with 4 teeth extraction (4/5 & 5/5) last month. Now I am with ceramic braces. I am worried if I'll get sunken and flat face after my braces are off. Can there be any long-term adverse condition and effect on my facial profile?
Hi, I'm 21 years old. Have protrusive teeth. My ortho said that i have to get extraction for 4 teeth I was ok with that untill I googled and read about terrible consequences of extractions such as dished in or sunken face. It really frightened me. All this braces thing takes a lot of money, effort and pain. So I want to be sure that my face will not change in a bad way. Pls write a review about facial changes according to my photos especially about sunken face effect. Thanks in advance.
