I have overjet class 2 my orthodontist prescribed me extraction of 4 premolars but I don't want to, no space in my mouth. I'm afraid of facial changes. Are Damon braces going to work on them without extraction?
I just want to no that is really what my ortho have said to me that I can't correct my teeth problems ( overbit, crossbit, front teeth crowding ) without damon system, unless I extract 4 teeth, I have consulted another orthodontic and asked him about damon system, he told me that I had to trust him that damon system is just a marketing tool, and so we have proceeded in the treatment until he told me that I will need teeth to be extracted! And that is not an option for me, I can't live with another face!
I had six month smiles done, and after they were taken off I realized my teeth flare forward. I can just barely close my lips now, I'm so unhappy with my smile! Not only did he shave off the majority of my teeth, he made my mouth and lips puffy. I wanted to know if Damon Braces could fix my flaring teeth/overbite and line everything up properly? I went to an orthodontist who doesn't provide Damon braces and he had said the only way he could fix everything was with extractions, which scare me.
I am 24 yrs old,looking for good braces to correct my buck teeth. Basically all my teeth are OK, except the two buck teeth in front. I went to see an orthodontist for X-ray, he advised to get 4 bicuspid teeth extracted (if Damon braces is the case). OMG! All these 4 teeth are still nice & healthy. I am wondering is there an alternative to correct my buck teeth without extraction? Please advise.. Thanks!
Recently,I decided to fix my buck teeth. My teeth are in fairly good shape (see figure). A little crowd but straight. The upper two front teeth are big and outward. I chose Damon braces since the doctor told me that there would be no extraction of teeth, while other doctors recommended me of extraction of four teeth. Before I get my Damon braces, I had some concerns. One of my friend told me that Damon braces might wider my face since it is going to angulate my jaws. Is it true?
I had 2 premolars removed to reduce crowding but as a result it has placed my bite in a very compromized position that's causing me breathing problems( the doctor made my bite worse by pushing the teeth back to create more space). Yes it pushed my teeth up but I am having trouble chewing with 2 teeth missing and the doctors have suggested removing 2 more from the top but that defies logic and reason because that's not going to fix my sleep apnea issue. Can I use my tongue to undo this damage?
