Re: Narrow airway as seen from lateral ceph

Sounds…well…less than ideal to say the least! :(

Would you mind sharing/posting your lateral cephs? Would be interesting to see the before/after.

[quote=braceswoman post_id=507729 time=1561409204 user_id=30308] Your point that you feel the freedom of the tongue meant the most to me!! Some days, I have felt like cutting mine out!

[quote=Tath4746 post_id=507621 time=1558908137 user_id=30060] Hi Karin, To answer your question, I am relieved of my symptoms and have been into the bicuspid extraction/retraction reversal process for almost two years to date (speaking from personal experience).

Re: Left Nostril feeling more blocked after premolar extraction?

Certainly possible, I’m living proof of that. Since having premolar extractions my right nostril has been obstructed much more frequently, it’s more or less obstructed half of the day. Very annoying and often prevents me from falling asleep in the evening. It’s as my right nostril collapses/becomes ...

Reversing premolar extractions in Europe

Hi ArchWired! I hope anyone reading this is doing well! I am an adult patient in my early 30s that foolishly underwent four premolar extractions one and half year ago based on the advice of my orthodontist. Unfortunately, the result has been very poor, both from a functional aspect and from an aesth...
