I know ithis post is very old but I'd just like to advise anyone not to be ashamed or scared to talk to your ortho. Why would someone spend that amount of time and money not to get the best possible results. Speak out :) !

This is my biggest fear! I keep thinking: what if my back teeth move forward instead of my front teeth moving backwards. My Ortho says I will be fine and that molars and 2nd premolars are stronger than front teeth.

Same condition and I had my extractions 7 days ago... I can feel my teeth being pulled and hurts sooooo bad in my case.

Your progress is awesome, stay strong!
