Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I got my braces tightned today and my ortho said im ready for rubber bands but in the end i couldnt get them because i bracket came loose so they have to do it next time, why am i getting them? is it because i have had teeth taken out?

Understanding that dentists run a business to generate profits, it seems most will recommend braces for kids. How do you know if they really need them? A couple of dentist have said they are necessary due to an overbite, but isn’t a slight overbite normal. When do you know that it’s more of a cosmetic procedure rather than a medically necessary one?
