i saw quite a long faced guy at my school, and i was wondering why his face had gotten so long. He didn't seem to mouth breath and had an exelent body posture.
Later i found out that sure enough, he'd had braces before. I live in norway so i didn't really think bad dental work was a big issue here, but apparently it is.
How children and teens are even allowed to get braces is a mystery to me.
the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. the second best time is now
Probably had extractions. Braces without extractions are ok though. Orthos operate from the premise the human palate evolved to fit less teeth. Which of course this is false.
