This is probably a dumb question but if my dentist took out 4 of my premolars should I get a pallet expander
I keep seeing tiktoks about the consequences of them doing that, I still have braces but I'd rather deal with it sooner than have all ts happen to me in the future
Thoughts @Ruin ?

Ask your orthodontist about it and they let you know if it’s right for you. I got premolar’s extracted and didn’t need one because it woulda made my face to wide

No, I myself got my wisdom teeth took a year ago. Since it doesn’t affect the jaw or pallet directly you shouldn’t need a pallet expander. In doubt tell an orthodontist. Give solution, it’s the check on the right.

these aren't my wisdom teeth, they took out my front premolars on my top set and bottom set of my teeth

Idk how your smile is from a aesthetic standpoint but i feel like if you have space and can breath correctly you don’t need one

yh maybe ive just been seeing videos about it making your face falter in the long run tho and a bunch of stuff like that
 
this isn't the case it can affect facial aesthetics plus I've seen shite on it making your jaw less developed because you chew differently
Like I said, in doubt check with an orthodontist.

ive seen things saying u can get sleep apnea later in life from extractions but idk how true that is

extractions
Like I said I’ve had extractions and I would say my upper and lower jaw development are well above average. It might change case to case though and if you feel some expansion would help you out bring it up with the ortho and they’ll give you their opinion

bro dont tell me this im feeling sick to my stomach rn 💀
 
It was a long time ago but I would say it was slightly wide
could be over for me then I remember my dentists saying I had crowding so I'm guessing that woudl've caused mine to be narrower than usual brutal

Could be I feel like they’re usually very good at doing what’s best for aesthetics and functionality but it probably depends on the dentist
