Failed Orthodontic Treatment - Overbite: I am 20 years old and I had braces for nearly 2 1/2 years. My teeth are big kinda like Julia Roberts and I thought that getting braces would fix my teeth perfectly. However, after the braces were removed I had a weird overbite. My upper nad lower teeth are angled outwards and sometime when I smile it looks "horse-like". My orthodontist suggests that I have to remove 8 teeth total to move my teeth back because the space has to be made between the incissors. Is there any other way to fix this problem? I dont want to remove so many teeth and I dont know what I should do, because I really want to fix my teeth. Please help! ... Visitor from NJ (answer)
Extract 4 Teeth to Fix Overbite? I was just at the dentist with my daughter and she told me that I really have to consider pulling 4 teeth from my daughter because her overbite is bad. This way (she already has braces on) they could close up the space and correct the overbite better. I truly don't understand this and don't know who to turn to to find out if this doctor is looking out for the best interest of my daughter or trying to make additional money on her. Can you please give me some advice and let me know if you ever heard of this sort of treatment before. It would be two teeth from the top and two from the bottom. ...Visitor from NJ (answer)
Tooth extraction and braces: My daughter is an almost 13 year old girl with braces on for 1 year. 4 middle lower teeth are very crooked. One has turned 90 degrees. The Orthodontist wants to pull one middle lower tooth to make room. The jaw cannot be widened much more without adverse effects down the road for other lower teeth. How common is this and will it look odd to have 3 teeth in the bottom front? My daughter is very upset with this treatment and turn of events. We need reassurance. ...Visitor from MO (answer)
Teeth pulled for braces! I am a 26 year old female who had braces during middle school. My orthodontist pulled 4 teeth (2 on top, 2 on bottom) because of overcrowding. However, my smile has never been the same since and I do not like it. It is not symmetrical and not as wide as it used to be. I never had large teeth, in fact very small ones, so I have no idea why I had teeth pulled. Is there anything I can do to fix this and try to get a "normal" smile again? ...Visitor from PA (answer)
