my ortho wants me to get four bicuspids extracted and im afraid of how its gonna change my face

how did your extractions turn out ? any noticeable facial differences ?

id like to see some pictures of before extractions and after braces and extractions...

With Carecredit, I have a feeling it'll have no effect. CareCredit is just a credit card, for all intents and purposes, so it should just be like closing out a credit card account you don't use or need anymore. At least that's what I would assume. I have it too. It's listed on my credit report with...

this orthodontist i went to today had a great office, nice staff, and he seemed really determined to go the length it takes to get my teeth how i want them. he highly suggested the ceramic/metal combo over invisalign and his treatment time was twice as long as the two other consultations i had. he ...

he was the only "elite provider" in the area for invisalign (not that it matters) but he suggested ceramic uppers and metal lowers for ~2 years, he recommended i get four bicuspids removed to help with the crowding i went in to get a second opinion to what the 'general dentist' i was going...

I would not go to a general dentist for any ortho stuff. (learned the hard way) Just go to the orthodontist, these guys go through at least 2 more years of school after dental school. What happens if the invisalign doesn't go the way the general dentist planned out? THEN you will get referred to an...

anybody have to get this type of movement done during your treatment ?

i was told i would need to extrude my two front teeth so they overlap my bottoms correctly (the bottoms of my top teeth close down on the tops of my bottom teeth currently)...

the ortho did offer a payment plan but it was still too much for me, plus he wanted a $1500 down payment which i definitely cant afford the GD said he's done 180 invisalign cases but i didnt ask about the extrusion aspect of it i noticed the link you posted was a little outdated by a few years, mayb...

ive been to an ortho and GD and both told me the same thing

12 months and would require elastics with invisalign

both of these were 'premier provider' and the GD offered carecredit so thats why im leaning towards him

any advice ?

i was told i would need elastics with invisalign to help extrude my two front teeth to help them overlap my bottoms like theyre supposed to

ever heard of this ?

anyone done this ?

i was told by an ortho i would need to use elastics to help my front teeth extrude to properly overlap my bottom teeth (my tops and bottom front bite down end on end now)

what do you think ?

i was told 12 months for invisalign, going for my second consultation with another ortho on monday

would metal decrease my treatment time ? im thinking maybe damons, not really that informed on metal yet

traditional vs invisalign ?

hmm

they look fine to me

Oneal, most doctors offer interest-free payment plans. Does yours? My ortho's office puts the amount on my credit card every month, it's done directly by them. he said they would do $260 / month for 12 months i cant afford that either im gonna go for another consultation on thursday and this ortho ...

i dont have the money for a big down payment so id rather pay it off over a longer period of time
