..only problem of course, were my teeth were protruding from the top alot and were overall, very crowded (which is why Im here
![wink :wink:](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
Fast forward 1 1/2 yrs later with braces and 4 less teeth and I've noticed overtime that progressively my face and jaw became much narrower..
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
It also became more difficult to smile..feels as if my face wants to involuntarily stay shut...and if I do force myself, it looks as if my face is being strecthed akwardly..I also have a weird tingling sensation on both sides of my face (nerve problem?)
I told my orthodontist about the numbness and tingling sensation i have all over my face and he said it could be my wisdom teeth. So I scheduled a oral surgeon appointment for later this month
Has anybody gone through similar experience that can offer advice? Are these normal symptoms? And how'd I go about developing my facial muscles?
I'm not too familiar about headgear, but is this something I should suggest to the orthodontist?
Thanks
