Sounds a bit exaggerated?

#1 Post by vincent168 »

When I look at my upper teeth chewing surfaces in the mirror I find that my right premolars are tilted a bit too inwards compared to my left premolars. I say this because I think our upper teeth should form a fairly smooth "U" shape however on the right, just like on the right side of the "U" shape, it seems like it is curved inwards.

Now I have heard of people saying that premolar extractions causes flattening of faces which I thought was pretty exaggerated. But I am starting to believe it because when I look at my face, it seems like the right side is a bit flatter than my left side, would that be because my premolars are tilted slightly inwards?
