Made a big financial mistake. £600 wasted. How to move past it.

Look, I'm not going to Facebook group or memes. You can easily look up scientific studies/literature on this published by orthodontic journals. This, in conjuction with what two other orthodontists said with regards to excessive retraction in the case of a lower jaw discrepancy (you can see my other comments on this). Not everyone who says they did research is a loon, I genuinely applied to scepticism and looked for papers that were published in the scientific community. There are also some orthos who do say this is okay to do but it depends on the angles of your face etc. This ortho suggests it as a treatment method to all his patients with ovejets, he does not consider the facial profile. It's not a risk I'm willing to take.
