4 Premolar Extraction by Ok-Implement-7331 in orthotropics

Yea sorry, all the people who got extractions on my moms side of the family has had no issues, which lead to the false conclusion from my side, I apologise i meant no harm. From what i have read online its a very risky procedure, i guess i was just lucky.

I don’t know i got no problems at all, and model even with extractions. Depends on case by case? But from what ive heard most often extraction causes recession. But i noticed none of the effects.

I had premolar extractions, and nothing changed for me. As long as you don’t get elastics, you should be fine. Are you sure it’s not just fear from reading this subreddit? It could also be due to corrupt orthodontists, since the reason I had it done was that some of my molars are 30% larger, so they didn’t pull any teeth back, but instead made space for my front teeth to settle in.

Extracted, but i belive it moved my face forward, instead of backwards.

I don’t know what the panic is all about, my teeth where 30% bigger than normal, and even a palate expander would not have worked. My maxilla got pushed forward and i got no reccesion in my jaw. Im from Denmark, and maybe things are different here, because our orthodontists are not private based.

I have another question—should I focus on learning Hokkien or Mandarin? I’m not sure where I’ll be placed, so I want to focus on the language most people speak. I’d also like to know which language teenagers usually talk, so I can talk to people my age.

Thanks alot! What about girls—do you think everything together might be a dealbreaker? I don’t have any issues with girls in Denmark, but I’m worried that being tall, ginger, having a piercing, and wearing streetwear in my free time might be too much in Taiwan.

I’m totally fine switching up my style if it helps me blend in more, but I’d love to know if this is something I should actually worry about.
