[|Human|] i have braces on my teeth to extrude them. i recently had a lapse in my insurance and now i cant have the proposed extractions done. (the extrusion was a prep for the extractions) i still have the braces, is it too late to have the braces reconfigured so that i keep my teeth and just have them straightened. i ve been udergoing the extrusion process for approximately 1 year now. (i m shopping for insurance as i am back working again)
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Orthodontic extrusion is a process which has to be monitored regularly to avoid over extrusion and consequently there can be relapse of the orthodontic treatment. Since you have mentioned that there is large gap between your checkup, and you are still having the braces, I would advise you to consult your orthodontist at the earlier to continue with the next plan of treatment. Once started, I would recommend you to have it done continuously. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
