If you are removing 4 teeth for braces expect adverse facial changes!

Hi Carrie, I am going through treatment now with the Damon braces. I refused to have teeth extracted and went with a pendulum appliance. It moves my molars back to correct my overbite. Do you know if this can cause the same damage?

Thanks for your bravery and sharing your experience.

[mhmcupcakes]

Hi! Im getting my braces soon but they're gonna pull out 4 teeth first (number 6 both lower and upper teeth). I have an overjet and my teeth are not crooked.

Step 1) Step away from the camera

Step 2) Get a fucking life

There are so many people who have real deformities. You don't need a doctor, you need psychotherapy.

"Like" this if you are watching this and agree.

By your post I already know what kind of person you are. Sometimes they say you never understand until you walk in someone elses shoes.  As much as I dislike your comment and the dislike you placed on this video, I don't have the heart to wish this on you.

@Maddietata234566

It probably won't be very painful. But I highly recommend getting an opinion at a functional orthodontist before you remove anything. You can find one locally at iaortho.org, traditional orthos (as over 95% in the us are) make their job easier this way.

I'm really glad you made these videos, its helped me understand a lot so thank you.

I have the same problem and having less teeth than you but What's the solution? ccrieb?

[ccarrieb]

@lugana1000

A splint and then reopen the gaps for implants, some functional orthos say it makes you look 10 years younger.

[lugana1000]

@ccarrieb I think jaw surgery it's easier.

Because which gaps will be reopening for the implants?

And who will do this orthos or an oral surgeon?

[ccarrieb]

@lugana1000

Jaw surgery is the worst move you can make, what ever is being cut away is not meant to be, and the condition usually returns.

[PokemonGuruMaster]

aww im getting 4 removed next month! fuck

[ccarrieb]

@PokemonGuruMaster

Please don't, I just went to another ortho about correction today, and he quoted me $42,000. Get more opinions, or see if there is a functional orthodontist in your area. This is a 1950's procedure that has serious problems attached. Please see the 1st video in my favorites, I wish you the best, Carrie

[PokemonGuruMaster]

@ccarrieb its for braces carrie. 4 teeth removed from the back the dentist said 10000 would be the total cost and my dad said thats ok. Im just worried about changes. Thanks

Great video by the way

[ccarrieb]

@PokemonGuruMaster

The problem is almost everyone who has this procedure has problems later. The ortho makes more money from the extractions, and yes there will be changes. I made a video on the consent form that your family will have to sign for these services, you are taking a huge risk. Show your parent the videos in the favorites, I'm trying to help you not have to spent $40,000 in 10 or 20 years to reverse the damage. You are young and your jaw grows to age 24. Best of luck, Carrie

[18883434262]

thanks for the video and i was just wondering if having only one tooth pulled can cause problems or should that be ok? Also this is kinda of stupid question but can the orthor still retract teeth farther back into the mouth without pulling teeth?

[ccarrieb]

@18883434262

No prob, and yes almost all train track braces are retractive, some faces do change but it's a lot less common than extraction cases. I have other videos on this as well, I wish you the best, Carrie

[musicbuff789]

Cont'd from the bottom...

doesn't address the tmj problem first.

What do you think?

Thanks again

[ccarrieb]

@musicbuff789

Hi I have another video or actually 3 that address that, the one a day in the life of a victim of extraction ortho.

[GoodButEvil26]

this is EXACTLY why I refused to have more than just my wisdom teeth out!

[ccarrieb]

@GoodButEvil26

Smart move :-)

[khrystal1968]

Oh no don't worry about it. Keep doing the vids!

[khrystal1968]

I'm not talking about the orthodontist, I'm talking about me. That money could have been useful!

[ccarrieb]

@khrystal1968

Totally, sorry I misunderstood...

[musicbuff789]

Hi Carrie, I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I got 4 teeth pulled out 4 years ago I'm 24 now, and now I have slight tmj dysfunction...one doctor said to wear a TMJ splint and then get braces again, and they keep saying I need to get this done as soon as possible. But I was wondering what procedures are you doing to get this fixed? Or any advice? Thank you.

P.S Is there any way I could e mail you?

[ccarrieb]

@musicbuff789

Hi sure you can email me here.. After tons of research I am trying save up to work with Dr.Hang, please watch his video it's 1st in my favorites. I am using my energy now to help others not get in our position. Around 24 is when your jaw stops growing, also around the time that my TMJ head aches kicked into full force.  Best of luck, Carrie

[musicbuff789]

Hi thanks for the reply. I contacted a couple of ortho's (I don't live in the States), and one said that he would use a TMJ splint to bring the jaw forward and then use Damon to bring the teeth out to that position, I was wondering if you have heard of that method?

Although, all of them seem to say everybody is different. There is another method I heard of which is to reopen the space but I am worried that it might make the TMJ problems worse if the ortho 

[khrystal1968]

Better yet Hawaii!

@khrystal1968

I don't want him to come see me :-)

[khrystal1968]

$4400.00

[ccarrieb]

@khrystal1968

That would make a nice trip to Aruba.

[khrystal1968]

Honestly I wonder how that Dr sleeps at night knowing he has ruined my life forever.

[ccarrieb]

@khrystal1968

Honestly, he probably doesn't care, he took the money and ran..

[khrystal1968]

Personally I wouldn't mind making my former orthodontist wipe his butt with his Damn "waiver".

[ccarrieb]

@khrystal1968

Go for it!

[khrystal1968]

Keep making these vids. The orthodontic community will be pissed. Haha! It's about time the public knew the truth. BTW keep the wisdoms. Sadly, I didn't. So I lost 7 teeth for nothing. Funny how these orthodontists are never held accountable.

[ccarrieb]

@khrystal1968

Hey, yep the waiver form and root shortening will be my next videos :-)
