Hi, I was reading your blog. Are you saying that you didn't have to remove any teeth. I have none to remove. I had my 4 premolars removed as a child and my 4 wisdom teeth as an adult. They are saying they have no room to move me back. I also have facial spasms because my bite is so bad. I'm not on m...

I've gone to a ton of interviews. ORtho should not have been done on me. I had 4 wisdow teeth and 4 premolars removed. The 4 premolars when I first did ortho at 13. I was left where my teeth don't meet, the dentist ran off with the money. I was a mess. Got on my teeth barely. However, I've been havi...

what does it do the HERBST? Expand the arch? How awful, your cheek got infected. I hope you're ok. THey told me the only way to correct the overjet is to shave down all my teeth and cap them and redo braces and have TAD implants. I'm so upset. Do you have space for your teeth to move back? I had my ...

Did you have an overjet prior to ortho. If not, start screaming now. Ortho shoudl not have been done on me. I'm class II and was left with a 6 mm overjet. I don't know what to do. Very upset. See if they can shave the teeth down a little, extract a tooth. I have none to extract, or else you're stuck...

Thanks Use of an appliece in an adult may have very slight movement, superficial in just stretching the muscle or relaxing it more so that when the teeth close they don't try to pull back. I think the age up to 23 there is...

[ I was left this way after ortho and it's horrid. Do not do it! Unless you can get that fixed. You will be sticking out a lot in your front lip. Awful looking. Be very careful! quote="Lisa07"]Hey guys! I am about to start using Invisalign for the first time and my dentist has just receive...

I had braces as a child and redid ortho at 54. After several consultations, I was told the same thing that I had an easy case. I have no more teeth to extract. My front teeth were cross a little and my lateral incisors flared out a little. I'm class two and I never should have been touched. I was le...

My front teeth were a little crossed and my lateral incisors were a little flared out. I redid ortho and she left me where my teeth do not meet. THa...
