Re: The truth about extractions. Share your Good and Bad stories? [with pictures]

[quote=DeSnek post_id=507182 time=1553725546 user_id=32709] It would be really helpful if someone posted links to pictures of cases where extractions ARE recommended, and where they aren’t recommended.

Re: The truth about extractions. Share your Good and Bad stories? [with pictures]

If anyone has had any consequences to premolar extractions, could you please take this survey? It's for a research project to determine what percentage of people get the "bad story" effects after having this procedure. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1smJ6xFAPaoXLVKGCr7zMYqtIJOm-UUcj-3eAdE...

Re: Reversing premolar extractions in Europe

p.s. you can get 4-5 mm lateral expansion with braces alone, and 3 mm anterior expansion. With palate expanders you can get substantially more, and with MSE you can get up to 7 lateral. The big trick is matching the mandible to the maxilla, as the maxilla can be expanded more than the mandible. In t...

Dear Greyham, Let me begin by saying I am impressed with your troubleshooting of the research studies denying the relationship between extraction-retraction and sleep apnea (and airway issues). I am working with a lawyer on a class action suit based in trouble-shooting how research published in the ...
