Do not recommend this if your have maxillary hypoplasia (recessed upper jaw), what it does is basically constrict your normally sized lower jaw to fit an already too small upper jaw. This treatment may create a 'nice smile', but functionally it has a host of issues, from reduced tongue space to speech issues and reduced mastication capacity. The unfortunate reality is that orthodontists are tunnel visioned in achieving a perfect smile and don't take much into account functionality and overall facial size and ratios. This treatment when done if you have a small maxilla, also gives the sensation of a claustrophobic mouth and sunken mesolabial area. A sunken mesolabial area gives the impression of a jutting chin. Retracting teeth , depending on how much, causes over stimulation of saliva, which makes you spit and speak and generally feel exceptionally uncomfortable. You should always visit a maxiofacial surgeon and ENT before committing to any sort of dental retraction and arch reduction. If the maxiofacial surgeon and ENT can confidently say that you wont have any of the above issues based on the amount of retraction , then yes go ahead with it. I made the mistake of not Consulting with an ENT and maxiofacial surgeon first. I only realised I had an issue once my sleep apnea became severe. The maxiofacial surgeon then assessed me , done thorough scan , and advised me that for long term comfort, health and functionality, I should reverse what I can of the retraction and do orthognathic surgery to advance my maxilla. The ENT agreed. If an orthodontist ever tells you that 'your tongue will adapt you need not worry', do not take their word. They are specialist in tooth movement and not mouth and throat function. Always get multiple opinions from various medical disciplines before committing to any sort of body altering procedure. In my opinion though, making a mandibular arch even smaller to accommodate an already small maxillary arch does not make any sense and does not address the problem on a functional level. Do your research
@@Kelra4748 im going through this right now, i'll keep you updated in case that person doesnt reply. i had one lower laterus incisor removed and they just put a chain on my lower row of teeth for gap closing. however, i got it removed at the end of feburary. so far my teeth are slowly shifting and my bite is getting better!
Jyo Leya hi sorry! After I got my extractions i still had my braces on for like a good year and a half because my teeth shifted into place. It’s a process but soooooo worth it.
Oh thanks for this video my orthodont has said me for removing my teeth but i didnt want to lose it .now i understand that it is essential to correct my underbite
hello, i see a few people replying to commenters under this video, saying they got this, and you guys would like to know how its going for them. well, i got this done for a malocclusion class 3 cross/underbite, but only one lower tooth was removed. i got my tooth extracted in march, and it is now the end of may, and the space is still closing, i will update for anyone who wants to know any changes i noticed, or if it worked for me.
updating for june 11th, the space is indeed closing very slowly, my bottom teeth is starting to underlap my top teeth, my hope is that it all fits into a perfect bite and doesnt run out of space for my top teeth to fit on top of the bottom

What it's doesn't say is that during the process of closing the gaps you aren't able to eat properly because your molars will not touch because they will put a build up on your 4 front, top and bottom teeth, and will only be able to nibble with your front teeth or swallow whole. Disclaimer: I am going through this stage and it sucks I barely eat once a day because of the struggle of eating
Doing this in one month now. excited and hoping for the best. 1 year of this treatment update:my gaps were nearly closed just 2 months after i got power chain but they removed it and put me on normal elastic bands, after that cross elastic behind my teeth and now they made me put 2 TADs and are pulling it with power chains again . been 3 months with power chain and the teeth gap has closed only 1 cm. Edit: Reason: Everyone has a different type of case and its complexity (why they removed power chains in the begining?) the gaps were being close but the teeth were moving and bending like it was tilting. the elastic rubber band and cross elastic were part of my doctors plan fix the bite. 2 TADs were placed because my midline was way off(a whole tooth) so they are using power chains on my teeth and TADs to correct the midline but this time its moving gradually in a slow pace. Edit: if i don't reply comments then, send 1 more comment cuz i probably didn't got notification from it .
@@stuff_er i still have the braces and the treatment is very slow(idk, maybe just for me?). my gaps hasnt closed yet n im stuck here in lockdown so no further progress. i didn't get much of a result but just noticed my teeth slowly being straight and my midline being fixed but not much change in my facial appearance.
@@ninango8291 sorry for the very late reply. i didn't get any notification from it till now .

Question for anyone who has gotten this procedure. My daughter is 13 and has been given the green light to get this done. Will there be room for her tongue afterwards? Is there any possibility that this doesn’t fix her problem? She’s nervous about losing 2 good teeth
Hello! So it's been a year since my teeth got extracted because I also have underbite. Now I'm happy cause my underbite is gone! It was very painful at first but I managed to pull through. I still have small spaces from where my teeth got extracted but it's not noticeable. Overall, I'm really happy about the results!
Hello, I have a question about this procedure, what instruments do you use to accomplish this movement? power chains or other type of rubber bands? Thanks in advance
+Akumajo no Kyojin please keep in mind that there are different ways to achieve the movement. At AvA orthodontics most of the time we do a combination of both.
I think i loose my teeth many years back like those two teeth on the video cant i just do implants and Can i loose my bone overtime if i dont do implans
Will this result in there being loose skin around the lower jaw? Can this procedure lead to dental problems in the future due to the way the teeth rub against each other in this new position? Is this a generally recommended/popular procedure? Thanks in advance!
+Anthony M every 3-4 mm retraction of the lower front teeth will result in 1mm retraction of the lower lip which is minimal. so to answer you question simply "it won't". the second question: please keep in mind that the bite is already off that an orthodontist decides for such a treatment. the result after the extraction should overweight the condition before treatment. Without a proper diagnosis it's difficult for us to asses the outcome.
Waited 16 months for my class 3 underbite to close, did not work so i just had my bottom molars removed 2 months ago, Making sure im wearing my elastic bands everyday. Hope Im Satisfied with the results....
@l6serr I burly removed my bottom molars two months ago from today, After 16 months of Having Braces. My underbite did not correct itself. So now I have to wait how this works after removing Molars. Space is still closing,Hopefully it was worth removing the molars and my underbite gets corrected.
The orthodontist suggested my daughter who is 16 remove lower premolar to correct her underbite and crossbite with invisalign. Since the retraction is excessive. Is there a potential cause of bone loss or root resorption will happen? I am very concerned that she will have problems in the future with the molars in back or teeth in general.
Great video! Quick question. I am 23 Female, so there for my jaw is already fully grown. I have Class 3 Malocclusion (skeletal) would this work for me? I don't want jaw surgery as because it is very expensive in BC, Canada. I also have 5 lower front incisors. Perhaps i should extract the extra one out?
This procedure is for camouflage. I had a 2.5 mm underbite skeletal in origin and used this procedure. The face changes a bit for the better, as I don't look like a bulldog anymore I guess! But for the best results, surgery is recommended!
Would the back molars align as well? My dentist says If i get braces alone without jaw surgery, I will have an underbite. To correct this he would like to do braces and remove to bottom teeth. However will this align that back two teeth with a combination of elastics and extraction. My back molars only slightly touch my bottom molars. Also with this extraction technique is there a chance that sleep apnea can be developed?
@@drq1248 my underbite is very less it is not even properly understood when I close my mouth. Could you please tell me what is the process total cost and how many days does it take to recover after doing this process
@@PinkBlossom__47 I don't remember the total cost, it was covered by my insurance. It took me a week to recover but I also need some painkillers due to sensitive teeth. I think it's a good idea to get brace on your case
the thing is, my lower jaw is exactly where it should be but my upper jaw is too far back but my ortho gave me two options: this and jaw surgery. which should i do? because i'm really afraid of jaw surgery but i feel like the tooth extractions would make it worse
I have a overbite been in braces now for 3 years. My overbite is 6mm and they told me i wouldn't look much different. I have a lot of loose soft tissue around my jaw and i mentioned about moving my chin forward and they said they wont do that until after the operation and only if i need it, they suggested removing a mouler on each side the create more space. From my top lip it looks like i need about an inch but they saying its only 6 mm i dont understand, this is nhs should i get a second opinion
Stuff Er it did work! I wore rubber bands 24/7 the spaces on my lower jaw are still closing, but I don’t have an under bite anymore. The shape of my face however did not change much. Regardless, I feel like my speech improved and I’m content with it 😊
Spir It funcionó! Después de las extracciones tuve que traer gomas elásticas las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, los espacios en mi mandíbula inferior todavía se están cerrando, pero ya no tengo la mordida al revés jaja Sin embargo, la forma de mi cara no cambió mucho.

thank you so much for the reply. 1 more question tho. if u have an edge to edge bite, will this cosmetically effect you in a negative way or a positive way
i'm getting this done on Friday, and i'm a bit scared that the structure of my face is going to change a lot. will my lower jaw move a lot when the gaps close and my bottom teeth come together? also, about how long does the procedure of removing the two teeth take and will it hurt? last question, how exactly do the teeth move into alignment? what exactly is going to move them into place?
+Andrea x expect 1mm of soft tissue change for every 3-4mm of front teeth retraction. the second question is to asked from your dentist. Third question can be answered better if you check our website at avaorthodontics.com.
I had the same case as well and I'm sure that It's not innate. I just noticed it when I was 13 years old, Since the under bite was causing me so much trouble. I went to a orthodontics had braces and then after a year my two premolars were extracted. (*as shown in the video.) As of this moment, their are still spaces due to the extraction. Although you can say that some of my front teeth are now normal,but there are still 3 teeth that are still outside. I'm 17 years old and curious. Question:How long would it take to close the gap? When will it be reunited with the others? can the appearance of my chin or my jaw change? And lastly Stating the fact that its not innate for me, what could be the causes of my under bite?
Just got my two mandibular premolars extracted and my lower teeth tightened with braces One thing I wanna share to you all intending to get this procedure done = it’s superrrrrr uncomfortable afterwards that I wanna punch everyone 😂. It’s not painful as in toothache.. it’s just so uncomfortable. My dentist did warn me about this though But hey, nothing worth it ever comes easy. I’ll remind myself to share monthly updates😊
@@AarhamKaisar life got busy and I forgot to update 😂 3 months have passed and I’ve seen significant progress It was unbearably uncomfortable for the first 3 weeks since my teeth were shifting for their first time. But after some time, the pain went away and I started to eat like normal again 🤗 I have my braces readjusted once every 3 weeks so the progress is quicker. My lower teeth is also starting to move backwards and I can’t be happier 🥹
@@nir_nch_n oh definitely :D … my lower jaw is now in alignment with my upper jaw (it used to be ahead of the upper jaw). Just need more time for the power braces to pull the lower teeth a bit further back and it’s done 😊

+aliyah Ruiz Aliyah, the jaw is not actually moving. By extraction the orthodontist uses the space to correct the under bite. It will usually take around 2 years for the whole process to be completed.

@@PinkBlossom__47 I don't remember the total cost, it was covered by my insurance. It took me a week to recover but I also need some painkillers due to sensitive teeth. I think it's a good idea to get brace on your case
My dentist told me that I will have this on March 30th hoping for the best!
@jewelmyeon3288 Hi, how did this go for you? Did it fix your underbite? Did the gaps close? Thanks
@@tawnyalessandra yes!
Can i see your profile
@@jewelmyeon3288show me the resultssss
does it fix ur side profile and ur jaw to?
the thing is, my lower jaw is exactly where it should be but my upper jaw is too far back but my ortho gave me two options: this and jaw surgery. which should i do? because i'm really afraid of jaw surgery but i feel like the tooth extractions would make it worse
you need to discuss it with your orthodontist and find out about pros and cons of each procedure based on your specific needs.
Jaw surgery. Tooth extraction will not be good for you if your upper jaw is recessed.
Get the upper jaw moved forward you will look so much better
I have a overbite been in braces now for 3 years. My overbite is 6mm and they told me i wouldn't look much different. I have a lot of loose soft tissue around my jaw and i mentioned about moving my chin forward and they said they wont do that until after the operation and only if i need it, they suggested removing a mouler on each side the create more space. From my top lip it looks like i need about an inch but they saying its only 6 mm i dont understand, this is nhs should i get a second opinion
Does that limit the bottom area where the tongue rests?
The tongue should be resting on roof of mouth.
The tongue is attached to the mandible, so yes it moves back and retracts the same amount as the movement of the incisors. Tongue space is compromised
Wow I'm getting my braces soon..
What should i do if i have recessed maxilla😢
Jaw surgery I guess
Cant you just do implants?
I just got my extractions done I have a class 3 underbite
Heya, just wanted to ask if it worked for you?
Hola lizette, cm va el proceso?
Stuff Er it did work! I wore rubber bands 24/7 the spaces on my lower jaw are still closing, but I don’t have an under bite anymore. The shape of my face however did not change much. Regardless, I feel like my speech improved and I’m content with it 😊
Spir It funcionó! Después de las extracciones tuve que traer gomas elásticas las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, los espacios en mi mandíbula inferior todavía se están cerrando, pero ya no tengo la mordida al revés jaja Sin embargo, la forma de mi cara no cambió mucho. Pero De todos modos, siento que se nota mucho la diferencia en mi voz
@@92326lizette nice. Tenias dificultad en respirar cuando mordias atras, when u were standing straight? Por lo menos eso es lo q me pasa a mi y mi lengua no tiene cupo, se siente atrapada jaja
thank you so much for the reply. 1 more question tho. if u have an edge to edge bite, will this cosmetically effect you in a negative way or a positive way
to answer we need diagnostic records. discuss it with your orthodontist
i'm getting this done on Friday, and i'm a bit scared that the structure of my face is going to change a lot. will my lower jaw move a lot when the gaps close and my bottom teeth come together? also, about how long does the procedure of removing the two teeth take and will it hurt? last question, how exactly do the teeth move into alignment? what exactly is going to move them into place?
+Andrea x expect 1mm of soft tissue change for every 3-4mm of front teeth retraction. the second question is to asked from your dentist. Third question can be answered better if you check our website at avaorthodontics.com.
+AvA Orthodontics & Invisalign thank you for replying
Heya! May i ask about your treatment and if you are happy with the results?
If my jaw is more vertical, is this option still present to me? Or is jaw surgery the only way?
+lovelyxelle It's depending on the extend of the vertical growth.
I had the same case as well and I'm sure that It's not innate. I just noticed it when I was 13 years old, Since the under bite was causing me so much trouble. I went to a orthodontics had braces and then after a year my two premolars were extracted. (*as shown in the video.) As of this moment, their are still spaces due to the extraction. Although you can say that some of my front teeth are now normal,but there are still 3 teeth that are still outside. I'm 17 years old and curious.
Question:How long would it take to close the gap? When will it be reunited with the others?
can the appearance of my chin or my jaw change?
And lastly Stating the fact that its not innate for me, what could be the causes of my under bite?
Was this method successful? Or do you it made your case worse? I am about to have this done and I wanted to know the pron and cons.
@@waterlilie update?
Just got my two mandibular premolars extracted and my lower teeth tightened with braces
One thing I wanna share to you all intending to get this procedure done = it’s superrrrrr uncomfortable afterwards that I wanna punch everyone 😂. It’s not painful as in toothache.. it’s just so uncomfortable. My dentist did warn me about this though
But hey, nothing worth it ever comes easy. I’ll remind myself to share monthly updates😊
Reminder??? Where are you gone .....😢😮
@@AarhamKaisar life got busy and I forgot to update 😂 3 months have passed and I’ve seen significant progress
It was unbearably uncomfortable for the first 3 weeks since my teeth were shifting for their first time. But after some time, the pain went away and I started to eat like normal again 🤗
I have my braces readjusted once every 3 weeks so the progress is quicker. My lower teeth is also starting to move backwards and I can’t be happier 🥹
Does your profile look better?
@@nir_nch_n oh definitely :D … my lower jaw is now in alignment with my upper jaw (it used to be ahead of the upper jaw). Just need more time for the power braces to pull the lower teeth a bit further back and it’s done 😊
Hey can i see your profile
hello!! for anyone who would like to see human example of this procedure, i made another comment, the thread is somewhere under this post. I’ve posted a video on my page with pictures and timestamps of how this went for me with a class ||| under/crossbite. feel free to check it out!
how long does it take for the jaw to move back ?
+aliyah Ruiz
Aliyah, the jaw is not actually moving. By extraction the orthodontist uses the space to correct the under bite. It will usually take around 2 years for the whole process to be completed.
@@AvAOrthodonticsPage wait so the jaw is not moving so if I wear braces and do this would it chnage my face and improve or would my head and everything get longer
Same problem and also irregular teeths
does this move your teeth and jaw into its proper place
it only moves teeth not the jaw. jaw movement is only possible with surgery.
what's the maximum recommended age for a patient to undergo this procedure?
+poobunnies there is no age limit. if you are medically cleared to go under general sedation you are cleared for this type of surgery.
I got my teeths extracted can u plz tell me after extraction when u get braces difference is visible or not?
I mean in a month your teeths shift back noticeably or not..???
please please tell me in a month will i see the difference??????????? 😞
Yes your gap will get a little bit smaller but be patient it took me a year for everything to get in place but the results are great🫡
@@zorana596 bro my teeth hurt sooo much how long do we suffer this pain... 😢😢😢😢
The pain from my teeth moving stopped after a month or more for me after that it didn't hurt thank god
How is it going ?
@@zorana596Do you like the results?
Have you tested this method on any patient?
+Preyash Hojiwala of course. That's our job. ;)
Now I've showed this video to my ortho and she said that it depends upon the gap between jaws.Is that true?
Hii
Don’t do this you will regret this for the rest of your life
how so?
Why??
Because I had this done and it doesn’t look or feel right I also have TMJ in my jaws. Basically you’ll be f’d
