Hi! I recently posted about having to get 6 teeth extracted. Thanks to everyone that helped give me advice.
I got 2 upper premolars extracted when I was little. Ortho wants to extract 2 lower premolars to relieve the severe crowding. However, since I'm also missing one incisor on the bottom, he said I will have an overjet at the end of braces. anybody have this problem? I'm spending so much money and time and pain for braces, do I really want to be left with an overjet??
What size of overjet your ortho was talking about?
My overjet before treatment was 6 mm, and my lower incissors touched the upper gums. I havent had any extractions, so it might be i end up with some overjet. But I hope that my lower incissors touch my upper teeth. At the moment my lower incissors do not touch anything.
