This is in response to the top review:
Different people have different mouths as well as teeth size. Perhaps your teeth were too large? or your mouth size was smaller than your friends which could result in over crowding. When i got my braces done here i didn’t have to have any teeth extracted (other than my wisdoms).
Did you ever complain to them? The reason im even responding to your review above is because of your comparison to your experience to your other friend’s experience. Your teeth may have been extracted because of different reasons why your friend HAD the option. Also, It is true that your teeth will/​can move back and it is also true that you will have to wear your retainers for the rest of your life (if you want to keep your teeth the way it was when you had your braces off). Having braces does NOT guarantee that your teeth will stay like how it did for the rest of your life.
great review, but you make arguments with premises that contain fallacies.

BRACES
I had to have 4 teeth extracted/​pulled out, two on each side, top and bottom, to fix my minor underbite. Now, as a result of them pushing my teeth back, I have these gaps because the teeth that were pulled out were pretty big. (my teeth are pretty big to begin with). They did say that my facial structure would change when they move my teeth back to close the gaps, but I didn’t expect that it would be moved back so far that it looked like I had no teeth. Just picture an old woman with no teeth, just gums with her mouth closed.
They also put this bar in the roff of my mouth that would cut into my tongue, and I still have that cut/​gap/​spacing on my tongue, even after they removed the bar. The bar was used for some reason. i forgot.
Then they put one mass of hard clay or plaster on the back of my two front teeth so that I can bite down, my lower bottom would hit those two bumps… i still have the residue of those two bumps/​plasters, even after they «removed» it. They didn’t remove all of it, a sloppy job it was.
Now… I wouldn’t mind all the problems, if it wasnt for a friend I met who had the same problem. BUT she went somewhere else who gave her options. Her orthro gave her the option of NOT having her teeth pulled out. What they did was move her teeth out so that each tooth was pointed inward/​outward could have room THEN pushed them in straight.
I would of loved to have my braces on a year or two years longer if i could of kept the 4 teeth that were pulled out, that would be a sacrifice i would of made.
FYI: I have to wear a retainer for the remainder of my entire life. everyday! I know of some people who do not have to, but apparently since teeth move back to where they were orginally at, I would end up with the gaps of where those 4 teeth were if I stopped wearing the retainers…
do your homework if youre getting braces
