Title: can braces pull your maxilla forward?Please read
Post by: confusor on August 16, 2015, 02:47:25 AM

I never had braces while growing up(s**tty dad)
I broke my teeth at the age of 18 so i went to the dentist for the first time and he took my x ray and told me i had an over bite and my upper teeth were arched, he said he would try and pull my upper teeth forward which scared me because i thought i had upper teeth outwards already(overbite) and that would make my smile even worse

so today i read an article about having the upper teeth being pulled forward(pulling maxilla forward) and how it increases overall aesthetics.
Do you think i should get my arched upper teeth fixed? It is going to cost me a s**t ton of money just to get the wisdom tooth removed(dentist said they were the reason why i developed an overbite and crooked lower teeth)

I am 20 atm turning 21 in a few months

If you already have an overbite why would you pull your teeth further forward??
