Deep bite.
I am suffering from deep bite and my orthodontist recommended 4 extraction
But when i searched about the side effects of tooth extraction and effects on facial profile it made sense as the palate should be wide and broad as the tongue rest in it but extracting teeth to make space to move the upper teeth back further narrows the palate and leads to numerous problems later like sleep apnea etc, i
want an alternative to tooth extraction and widen my palate
