I had 4 premolars removed 2 days ago while braced. No issues whatsoever. Except for my chipmunk cheeks!

I'm getting 4 teeth extracted (2 premolars on top and 2 premolars on bottom) tomorrow at noon and am getting nervous. I've read a lot of posts on here about people who question having the extractions done and others who regret having them done. If you don't regret having the extractions done, can y...

Thank you Ladybird. As soon as I can find my download cord, I will get some pictures posted.

Really? Grit my teeth? I'm having a horrible time using them to even eat. I've been living on soup and mashed potatoes (although I went wild tonight and had mac and cheese ). I'll have to start working them.

My bottom teeth are crowded & I have a slight split in between my two top front teeth. I will be getting 4 teeth (1st molars, I believe) pulled on September 22. I am so l...

I just wanted to say hi Heather because you and I got the braces on the same day. I'm 37 and have wanted braces forever due to overcrowding on the bottom and a slight split on the top. I'm struggling with the spacers in between my back teeth. And wax has definitely been my best friend for the past 2...

I'm scheduled on 9/22 to have 4 1st molars removed. I have no advice but am interested to see what others have to say about this.
