Choosing a good Ortho is really important when it comes to getting braces done, and it's definitely worth taking time to carefully considering before committing into any treatment.
I'm also considering getting Ortho treatment and found that my dentist is not an orthodontist although he displayed a certificate of some sort of 'International Association of Orthodontist' and after research I found that being certified with that doesn't mean that he's qualified as a professional orthodontist, and apparently a dentist can just submit some work and attend a few days course in order to get certified...
So now after wisdom tooth extraction done by him I've decided to take my time and keep looking for more opinions from other Orthodontist ( from now on I only select those who have been registered in the Malaysian Association of Orthodontists ).
After reading previous post regarding extraction side effects it kind of make me hesitant too because I was told that I will need 4 bicuspid extraction as well although my teeth is not really that crowded and it may sound silly but I did feel like my mouth space has becoming smaller after wisdom tooth extraction. Wonder what would happen if I do 4 premolars extraction...
