Hi KK, Yup, will ask my ortho so that I'll be appeased. :-) Hi Ame_Malia, Nope, that's not what I pictured when you described your case.

This sounds like a common thing; my ortho hasn't bothered with my very back teeth (2nd molars). I guess no one can see them, so I don't really care, although the top ones are about 1/2 a tooth-space outside the rest of the teeth, and although it doesn't really physically bother me, I do tend to pla...

Great that your journey has started Toneten ! :thumbsup: Thanks. I'm actually quite excited about the whole process, can't wait till it's all done. :D I'm sure your ortho will close those extraction gaps, as they must have needed doing, so that space could be ultilised for other teeth to move into....

Most of the posts I've read are about the process of extraction and not so much the effect of it when you have braces...

Hello KK, Thanks for commending me on my effort to explain my concerns to my ortho. I really wanted to have braces but was quite worried about the extractions :p Right now I guess I have to wait till the day of extractions.

Hello everyone! Thanks for all your advices, comforting words and well wishes. I have to admit, my worries have subsided a little. To those that suggested that I have more than one consult: I already did. The first consult I had was from a general practitioner that also practiced on orthodontry. She...

I'm on my late 20s and have been contemplating for a while as to whether or not I should have braces. When I finally found the courage and researched for a decent orthodontist to do the procedure, I was told that I need to have four bicuspids extracted. FOUR!!! Not to mention the fact that I have tw...
