1 /5 Alec Sarian: Although Michael is friendly, and quite personable.. unfortunately his years of work on me with braces severely ruined my face. Before braces, my face was well developed and I had a clear jawline which was in the correct position. Pictured is me at 21 years of age after finishing braces, and as you can clearly see, my side profile was completely destroyed and face had completely sunken in. Braces ruin your ability to push your maxilla forward to allow your mandible to upswing. Crooked teeth are a result of incorrect tongue posture. I would heavily caution anyone from pursuing orthodontic treatment in their developing years.
I actually visited Dr Kirshon a couple of years ago to express my feelings, and he didnt really take me seriously. He candidly asked his assistant "he looks fine, doesnt he? tell him" when I complained about my side profile and she had a stern look on her face and said ...yep. with the least amount of conviction Ive ever heard.
