I was wondering...

If I'm allergic to most jewellery (except gold it seems), will I be allergic to braces?

Anything you like about having braces?

hi!
I was wondering if any of you had seen their profile change with braces, especially with extractions?

Thanks!

Yeah I do exfoliate. Man I should have posted better pics LOL. But seriously, Jojoba oil is great!
Thanks again for the help, doc. I'll ask my orthodontist about that.

Hi Gable!

Yeah I took those myself

Thanks!

I just noticed, I had put jojoba oil on my skin just before the pics were taken and it makes me look way oily, lol.

So in what way could extractions detract my profile? What would change? Is my lower jaw going to be further forward?

Thanks!

Hi! I'm a class II division II malocclusion. My orthodontist wants to extract two upper premolars and put me in full braces. Will this improve my profile, or change it at all?

Hi Docs, I have another question for you.

What makes the orthodontist decide which teeth to extract between the first premolars and the second premolars? What should it be in my case?



Thanks!

hi there!
Thanks a lot for the help. The most important thing to me is to be sure I'm doing the right thing, whatever it is!

Hi all! I had an initial consultation with an orthodontist yesterday and he told me I need braces with extraction of one upper premolar on each side. I would like to have a second opinion.
