Very honest review————11111 I started at 20 and did it until 23, so I guess I had braces for 4 years? I’m 28 now (26 in international age) and living well. My mouth originally protruded severely, and I couldn’t close my lips unless I consciously put in effort. Anyway, because my protruding mouth was severe, I had 4 upper and lower teeth extracted, and I kind of regret that. If I hadn’t had extractions, maybe I would have regretted that in its own way too; Anyway, the reasons I regret it are: 1. My mouth went in too much -So I only used the removable retainer, and the retainer that you take in and out I wore for only 3 months and then stopped wearing it completely (even now). It’s actually a relief that my mouth protrudes a little more than before… At first I seriously became sunken-mouthed, so my nasolabial folds stood out way too much. -This problem was solved by getting Sculptra! 2. My mouth was already small, but because it went in even more, it looked seriously narrow and cramped -My face isn’t on the small side, but my mouth is small, and then it went in even more, so every time I took photos it was shocking lololol -This problem was solved with lip filler! 3. ⭐️My lower teeth went in too much, causing a witch’s chin-like appearance⭐️ This one… even putting filler in the marionette line area didn’t solve it. So I have no confidence in my side profile,,, Still, compared with right after finishing orthodontic treatment, my mouth has come forward a bit, so it’s gotten much better than before.. But issue no. 3 still didn’t get solved. If I could go back to the past, I think I’d ask the doctor whether I absolutely had to have extractions. (Of course my protruding mouth was a very severe case, so I probably definitely needed extractions…! Anyway, it’s true that I’m much prettier now after doing it than I was in the past when I hadn’t! Still, I really hope you ask your doctor whether extractions are necessary!!
