I’m getting 4 teeth extracted too, how was your experience?

@@lesliegrajeda3492 It wasn’t too bad. I had +-2 months to get them extracted and heal. So I removed 1 tooth every 2nd week. But it was quite uncomfortable having missing teeth in the mouth 😂

Hey, I had the exact same but I had 2 out last week and 2 out yesterday and honestly it’s not as bad as you think it would be! Just make sure to be honest when they test if your mouth is numb ❤️

@@lesliegrajeda3492 you will be fine honestly❤️

Even for me but u gonna adupt

Ahh youre so welcome! Glad to be able to help

Truuuuuuue.

Well said 🤩

Instablaster

Sad :(

Maybe to make room

Why did you allow it?

My parents didn’t have money either and it didn’t seem that they cared about my dental health anyway cause they never took me to the dentist despite my intense sweet tooth that I always found someway to satisfy (I know bad) 😁. I had to wait til I was 24 to get them, which is when I had a job that paid me enough cash to pay for them each month. So no crooked teeth forever, you can get them when you can pay on your own.

@@soundreign2319 Yea but the bad part about it is that some of my teeth are separating and I have horrible pain in my gums. Plus I have an excessive overjet and crooket bottom teeth💀

@Kyndall Anderson I can completely relate to you! I also have an excessive overjet (which is really annoying), and the dentist has been telling me for years that I should get braces, but my parents don’t have enough money. 😫

dental insurance? i dont have insurance so mines is 10k my wisdom extract was 1.3k with smile dental plan and my expanded was 2k no insurance. well im paying on my own im 17 and i have a job amd my monthly payments are $166

@@BabyGirl-de9jg I'm only 12 so I have to wait a long while

Same I’m 15 and there so bad

That’s what I have-

Hello maybe this is a bit late but basically for me one of my top front teeth crossed over the other teeth. They extracted 2 premolars on my top teeth and used springs to make space for the problematic front tooth. Then they used just normal braces wires to bring my teeth back to it’s place .

@@fatmabatmaz2 how long are u gonna need braces and how are they looking now?

@@offical_shrek3485 i got my braces off on October 2021 and it think it was less than 2 years in total (would have been less if corona didn’t delay my appointments) but my bottom teeth weren’t that bad. They are fine right now but i wish they didn’t extract my teeth because it looks and feels weird ( like my teeth don’t fit together) . I don’t care too much because it was for free but if i paid for it i would have expected a better result

Lucky you 🌸

@@msheartface5288 thanks 😊

Has it been taken off yet?

@@luffyyy9888 yup 😁

That:s great ! I’m sure they look amazing now

@@DrGregAsatrian They are better now. I always loved the orthodontist because they fixed my teeth.

Im excited for you!

@@DrGregAsatrian thank you! Ive taken 600 mg ibuprofen and have yet to feel any pain

I think I’m month 8 of my treatment 4 extractions later 🥺

So happy to help!

And explain things in a more respectful, less shameful and judgmental manner. It seems like he is a rarity😭.

@@soundreign2319 Frrr

Only one

So happy to help!

@@DrGregAsatrian 🥺

Yea, it will that's why I declined. If there is decrease in space there will be less space for your tongue which is the front wall of your airway. Also, your upper jaw forms your whole mid-face so pulling it back won't look attractive. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brBxptGF2M7ceGQ.html . You should research about mewing as expansion especially if you're still growing.

Like slightly underbite

ok so i got my teeth pulled out recently and when i tell you it aches, trust me it does...to some degree. So fist they give you numbing cream maybe on the lips or where they will inject numbing substance in that area. its like really uncomfortable but bearable when they inject it into your roof, it will hurt a bit. After, half of your face will feel dead and you cannot eat afterwards so EAT UP BEFORE YOUR APPT! When they actually pull it out, there will be some pressure and you might hear a ripping sound. My teeth looked like a normal tooth...with legs, one of my tooth looked like a sharks tooth(wth). Anyways when they give you a gauze to bite on, make sure to bite down hard but not too hard as your surrounding teeth will have to take that pressure and thats where it aches. After some time you might ( keyword might) have some slight pain from where they injected that numbing substance, it will be fine just get an ice pack and put it around that area. ALSO you might drool all over that place so the moment you step out of that clinic, don't look down otherwise you might drool all over you clothes :) take some tissues to cover your mouth otherwise you might look traumatised and to stop all that bluudy drool from coming out of your mouth.

Same. I also had to get the top one again at age 13, but luckily, I didn't get the bottom expander again.

So it’s a fixed permanent retainer? Hope you feel better soon

@@msheartface5288 No it’s the retainer that , i to take out to eat and brush my teeth with.

That's awesome! So glad to be able to help :D

did you get them extracted?

@@ebk3869 I went to the orthodontist and turns out I don’t have a narrow jaw, but some of my teeth are too small compared to the ones on the bottom. So I can either put veneers on those teeth to make them bigger, or I can get one tooth removed on the bottom. I go back to my ortho on Wednesday and I’m gonna discuss what I’m gonna do

Im 12 and i get braces on Thursday! Im getting them on my top and bottom. Im for sure getting some shade of blue. I think you could probably get a light shade of pink or a light shade of blue!☺️

@@ur.palval thank you for the idea💗 and good luck btw 😁

@@arik1694 Welcome🤍

U had the same case as me, an extra tooth grew behind my bottom teeth and i had extractions as well but i had both top and bottom braces now i have retainers :)

Good luck

i had braces when i was in 6th grade lol. i don’t think there’s a certain age. just whenever all of your “grown-up” teeth are fully grown in.

What if they expand that 20cm string to make it equal to 23?

You mean with pallet expander? To add that extra space? Well for my case they couldn’t use that, cause my palette was already formed. (adult braces) Usually they use a pallet expander for younger people, as they are still growing, and their jaws aren’t set yet. If that makes sense, so its easier to expand expand. However, they couldn’t use a pallet expander to add space for me, so they removed a tooth. And yes you can add space by expanding, but it’s a case by case situation.

@@nadira1 oh and everyone’s arch and mouth is very different I had severe overcrowding on the left handside of my mouth. There were too many teeth, that couldn’t fit into that ideal “20cm arch” If I had not gotten any teeth removed, my bite would not have been correct, and my teeth would’ve been protruded out more.

There's this metal thing called an expanders and you turn a key that slowly moved your bones apart

How?

Same😂

No

Can you report back please

Ahh good luck it’s not that bad but the noise is scary

They don’t

This was me. Its easier now, isn't it?

@@hannahc9858 yeeess, much easier now
