I'm 44. Had braces 1983-1985, 4 1st bicuspids were extracted, spaces were closed. I hated recessed mouth. Lost bone in front of bottom teeth over years. Braces again 2005-2013 to reopen 4 extraction sites for implants. All front teeth are tilted out and pulled out of bone a little to make enough space for implants. Now most teeth have receding gums-painful!, bottom teeth are loose, ache, can see darker roots, look too far out of jaw. Top canines can see exposed root.
