How about expansion?

Guys, I'll cite a situation. Could you answer? Cool. A certain patient have had braces as a teenager (14yrs.) and had 4 extractions. She was experiencing bimaxillary protrusion and her mouth sticks out on profile. After 10 years, she was unsatisfied with the result so she plans on getting braces aga...

LOL. My dentist doesn't recommend extraction where in fact I have read gazillions of articles and testimonies and all had extractions or IPR or something like expansion. I haven't got one and I'm afraid this braces won't really treat my overbite and mouth protrusion. My aim is to lessen the sticking...

I have mouth protrusion I think and Class II malocclusion. I think my dentist doesn't give rubber bands to fix overbite. What to do?

Truthgfully, I'm really having fun with colors of braces too.

I brush my teeth so accurately and I don't know why it's getting yellow-er this days.

Any suggestions?

Trainers are like soft sponges for mild situations or something. I'm wearing this because the website said it would lessen the time of treatment. What do you think?

My first month was black because my dentist said it would be sleek to look at. It turned out like I have eaten a squid everytime. LOL

My second band was metallic blue which I'm wearing now and I like it.

I don't know if I should just stay with this color or just try my luck on silver.

I'm Asian and it's really common for Asians to be having mouths sticking out more than the noses. See for example, Jessica Sanchez. I'm sorry I don't know anybody Asian having that kind of a situation. I got a decayed first molar years ago on my top left part. I also have been extracted with my 2nd ...
