I got braces for good smile without extractions. I was told no facial changes will be seen. Post 1 yr i had to quit treatment because :- I had upper left side1st molar extracted in teens & 2ndmolar & wisdom came forward leaving a gap 4-5 mm. After initial alignment of front teeth ortho put molar bands and shifted my bite from right to left by pulling & power chain to close the gap. ( i was given 8 lower brackets with lace back wire only & class 3 elastics on left side).Post 1 yr , my bite ruined, my face sunken, & left jawline was gone. I wasn't informed that i had deep bite & pulling my molar flattened my bite more.
1. I m attaching pre & post xrays. Can u suggest are molar brought forward & backward with tad support or by tilting them???
2. I am attaching current relapsed teeth caste pics . Can anyone plz suggest what treatment should i get for good smile & proper bite without affecting much of my face. ( upper anterior intrusion will hide my smile)

I would suggest talk to an orthodontist and get a check up done. This information is not enough to plan your treatment or assess your dental bite. Avoid self diagnosis. As it creates misinformation. Hope this helped.
Hi mam with the opg and only mid treatment models we can't suggest any treatment plan. We need pre and present Extra and intra oral pictures to evaluate your condition. So kindly visit any Orthodontist if you don't trust your treating doctor. Since treatment is done without extraction changes could be brought back if needed. Kindly get a physical evaluation done.
