Will premolar extractions suit my facial profile? (Photos) August 2, 2022Asked By: Honest4354
My teeth flaring is dramatic looking at it from an xray and I was told that in order to make space, extractions is the best route. However, I'm worried of what extraction of 4 premolars might do to my facial profile. While I don't want the protrusion going on on my lips, I also definitely don't want a sunken face. I just want insight as to whether you think a smaller smile would suit my facial profile.
For a correct answer clinical and radiographic studies are necessary, from what can be seen in the photos you have maxillary biprotrusion, the extraction of 4 premolars will create space to retract both jaws in the shortest possible time and without excessive orthodontic force, another option available is IPR but the space to wear enamel is limited, and may not be enough space created by Ipr to achieve the desired aesthetic results.
