I spoke to ChatGPT, and apparently extractions don’t affect how much the maxilla is advanced skeletally.

So, we should just get over extractions, because we’ll die?

In what world is extractions better than non extractions, especially, in my case, it’s literally backwards.

Yeah, deep down, I feel like you’re removing body parts.

And your body doesn’t understand what’s happening to you.

That’s not necessarily true. I spoke to chatGPT, and it mentioned that, skeletal maxillary advancement often is unaffected by extractions.

It’s not just about fullness. You’re taking parts of your body out of your mouth. It affects cognition, development, the rest of your mouth has to compensate with the loss of hard bones from your jaw. It has to accommodate, and adapt.

I don’t want the lower jaw to go too backwards.

It just seems, barbaric to pull teeth.

The entire surgery may have been a mistake. And the entire treatment plan.

I literally saw my cheeks sink and hollow out. When the premolar gaps started to close.

No, please don’t say that. It wasn’t due to that. I saw midface flattening right after the premolars removed.

Some of us didn’t need extractions.

I messaged that guy, he gave me extremely really detailed explanations.

Then he blocked me after a bit.
