anchorage loss

#1 Post by junkfood1991 »

Hi all, I got four of my 1st premolars removed 10 months ago and I'm now in the process of retracting my canines to create space for the retraction of 4 of my front teeth. However, I notice that the gaps between my lateral incisors and canines are of different sizes comparing the right side to the left side as the canine on 1 side is moving faster than the other. :GapToothed:

My question is that is it possible to end up with different sizes of gaps between my canine and incisor after finishing the canine retraction????? I think my ortho did the same powerchain and bonded a TPA on my molars on both side. Is it possible that I have more anchorage loss on 1 side than the other, even though my ortho did everything the same on both sides???? I'm kinda worried because I think it might affect my midline at the end of my treatment (my midline is already good).

Would someone shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance!
