10 years ago, I had orthodontic treatment at Handongheon Orthodontic Dental Clinic Rather than exactly having a protruding mouth, it was more like my front teeth stuck out so my mouth wouldn’t close? That kind of structure At first, the doctor suggested extracting the molars right behind the canine teeth, but my parents opposed it They said if I had healthy teeth pulled, there could 100% be problems later. I agreed with that opinion too.. After searching online I found information saying that after removing the wisdom teeth, all the teeth could be moved backward overall When I told the doctor, he readily said we should reflect my opinion and proceed with the orthodontic treatment So after proceeding that way, I didn’t get side effects like the overcorrection-related “omni?” look you can see in people around you I’m grateful to the doctor who respected my decision at that time ㅠㅠ Maybe it was because my protrusion wasn’t very severe haha It’s been about 7 years since I finished orthodontic treatment now, and I’ve maintained the condition from right after treatment pretty well! I didn’t wear my retainer well because it was a hassle, so I am a little worried though
Anyway, I hope this helps at least a little for people who are debating whether to have extractions
