A member asked:
Being over 25y do i have any other option except than 4x extraction for my protruded jaws like dna appliance?will it be good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: Upper jaw expansion in non-growing adults requires surgical assistance. DNA appliances, or any other non-surgical jaw widening appliance in adults will cause significant harm. Please see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist not a generalist who also does orthodontics, for the most qualified opinion.
