I’m getting braces. I was told by 2 ortho to have 4 bicuspids removed. I was told by 1 ortho just to remove the 2 upper bicuspids. I’ve been researching further and I hear a lot of horror stories about regrets and it changing their profile or having a ‘dished in/sunken’ look. I was only looking to get my teeth straight as my front tooth is turned out, I wasn’t expecting extractions. I also have a strained look because I’m having to force my lips over my mouth, not much but enough ...
Hello! So I REALLY need to start this blog because I don't think I can go through this otherwise! Reading the stories of others is so encouraging and makes me feel so much better about going through this... I know it had to be done, buy MY GOD is it painful or what!

I've had to wait for an appointment with the dentist for the extractions...so the earliest I could get was a month from my initial dentist check-up. Although, this is partly my fault as because I'm a massive ...
Attachment 50 I had two extractions yesterday both on my lower (no.5's) to make room for the teeth to straighten. I've never had any extractions or surgery before so was quite apprehensive about it. I was heavily sedated (not put completely under) and can't remember a thing after the drip was put in my arm and they put sunglasses on me. Next thing I know I was picked up off the dental chair and sat outside with a pulse monitor on my finger. It ...
