Brahma is back again. At the moment I feel a bit clueless and confused and sad about that. So if you don´t mind, I´ll complain about that all a little right here, just to get rid of it at least.
I spent the last few weeks by searching, reading and asking questions. Now I don´t know anything.
Up to now I got sure about really doing something, but don´t know what yet. I feel like having to make important decisions about things I know nothing about.
I´m looking for a way I can keep all my teeth without surgery (nobody ever suggested that for me). It would be a nightmare to have them pulled and sometimes later hear someone say "you could have kept them".
The ortho I met wants to pull two upper premolars. He said, if I had kept my wisdomteeth, there would have been created enough space for them and one was even grown before it got extracted. But now as they are away, there will be space left in the back and that could affect the jaw joint some day.
So why can´t this space be used for the premolars? They are that much smaller.
One premolar is out of the line and the other teeth have moved forward. Why can´t they be moved back to the place they have come from?
He showed me a pendulum appliance and said he would not do that, but I don´t understand why but have asked three times at least. The other way would be quite easy, he said.
Well, I don´t care about what is easy. I don´t like to imply anything, but maybe he even earns more money by getting teeth pulled? I really can´t tell how they make their priorities.
Everyone tells something different, so I could visit some more until I find someone who at least would have a try (if it doesn´t work they can still be pulled later, can´t they), but that seems to be difficult, because some others even want to pull four ones.
They are really fast with that in these fields.I can understand that there are reasons for it and that in some cases it could be the better choice to pull them, but now as I found out it might be possible to keep all, I would at least have tried to make sure that I am really one of those, because it appears to be a bad damage of my body to me.
Do you think teeth can be moved back with invisalign, too? Or would it be that uncommon to do that at all? Or dangerous, because of the greater distance they would be moved?
If you like you can find pix in my other thread.
Sorry for wailing, but I just had to tell someone.
best wishes,
Brahma
But I do hope.
