anchorage loss
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:44 am
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. 
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!
