Questions & Answers

Braces for the 3rd time (16 years old).

Is it common for an orthodontist to put braces on 3-4 months before removing two bicuspids? Why would an orthodontist do this? I have a serious overbite after being treated for it already. My orthodontist did not want to finish the treatment so I could get a surgery I do not want.

Anonymous Patient

Your overbite could be the result of a short or retruded mandible. This is very important to your facial esthetics and the health of your temporomandibular joint. Please clarify this with your orthodontist before proceeding.
