Just had four teeth removed!
I have just had four teeth removed, two yesterday and two today, in order to get braces :l
I had a slightly overcrowded mouth of teeth but now I just have four massive gaps and i'm not too happy about it :L
has anyone else had a similar procedural and did the braces completely fix it?

I think it's standard procedure, and yes, the braces will fill the gaps.
During my orthodontic treatment I had to have a total of 10 teeth (a few baby teeth included) taken out in the space of one year 
Yes, braces do completely fix it and it is very worth it.

I've had my braces just over a year, and had 3 teeth taken out 
Two on the bottom near the front due to overcrowding, and one of my sevens (molar at the very back on the top, plus I actually had braces on by that point). My wisdom tooth had impacted it in my jaw.. I even had the option to go under general anaesthetic for that one, but I went local instead. I'm not usually that brave! And I won't go into too much detail... did however need two rounds of injections. 
Forgot to add, I still have my braces, but the gaps at the front are definitely closing quickly, and all my teeth are straight. Just need to align them now

I had 4 teeth taken out for braces. Everything fitted nicely.. well i say that... there's just this one tooth that seems to be off a millimetre or 2 or so inwards, and I can feel it all the time against my tongue. Annoys the hell out of me, but nevermind 
I'm also getting wisdom teeth now and luckily it doesn't seem I'll need to get them removed since they seem to be fitting in nicely.

In the end when your teeth are nice and straight your'll be happy.

Had exactly the same, and braces sorted them very well.
Yep, I had exactly the same It was wierd at first with the gaps, but as soon as you get your braces the gaps will close before you realise it I just remember the great wads of cotton wool stuff in my mouth.... *shudders*
Oh, and pride yourself in being braver than me... I was so nervous about having the procedure I ended up being reffered to a specialist dentist! I went and was given an injection to make me all relaxed and sleepy, so they then took all four out at once, I think.... I don't remember a thing!
EDIT: Oh, and of course, my teeth are lovely now too

Over the years I have had 8-10 teeth removed to prepare for braces. I got two of my premolars on my top set of teeth removed a couple of months ago for braces, so I have two nice big gaps showing every time I smile. Attractive. I have braces on now, and they still have to attach brackets to another pair of teeth which are too far back, to bring them forward to fill the gaps.
It'll all get sorted out eventually - don't worry! One of my friends had two teeth taken out near the front of her mouth as well to make room for braces. She's now got her braces off and her teeth look perfect! The orthodontists sort it out - don't worry.
I've tried that I have a gap between my teeth, but then I've found my solution. Orthofill is my best choice because it helped me to fix my gap teeth and now I'm confident to show my smile. #howtofixgapteeth
