17 Or Under Year Old Male Treated With Braces With No Extractions Or Headgear In 14 Months. With Dr. Graham, Salt Lake City, Utah

This was the third orthodontic consultation for this young man. The previous orthodontists recommended upper bicuspid extractions, one also recommended headgear. In my opinion extractions and head gear both have negative impacts on breathing - increasing the chances of obstructive sleep apnea in adulthood which is why I don't do them.
