Problems w/ortho treatment
My daughter is at the final stage (Phase II) of her braces. Her doctor was going to take off her braces when I brought up the problem that I see in her. She has now protuded lips, gummier smile and her lips don't meet. I have taken her to different orthodontontist for second opinions. Two of them suggested jaw surgery and one of them suggested that she continue the treatment, have her canine extracted and have her wear a headgear.
The other doctor (second opinion) said that by doing that she would have a gummier smile and her lips probably won't close right.
Her original doctor said he'd continue the treatment extracting her canine.
I forgot to mention that at Phase I of her treatment she wore an expander (someone said that the expander made her have the protuded look)
Has anyone have a problem like mine. HELP!!
