Hello,

I'm in my late 20's and have seen a few orthodontists for recommendations of lingual treatments. It has emerged that I have two options available to me. I need to have braces on the upper and lower arch. So my options are to have four teeth extracted to ease the crowding or have the arches expanded. Previously my preferred route would have been to keep as many teeth as possible however now I am a little concerned about possible gum recession/relapse after expansion.

I wondered if any of you may have any experience or advice you can share regarding this?

Thanks

I don't have any advice as I am considering very similar issues now, but I wanted to say good luck with your decision.
