Slight crowding and flared teeth. 1st premolars were removed and the fronts look to have come back 7 mm according to my new ortho. ON top of that the arc got so small so my face looks narrow too. Get the seconds removed and carefully watch your profile, so you can ask the rear molars to be moved fo...

[quote="sillano"]The reason that you have a skinny face from your braces, at least if you had teeth extracted, is because of bone reabsorbtion. Orthodontists really need to step up and explain this to people before extracting healthy teeth, it is such a 1980's way of treating, they have so...
