Just by a few shades

Just by a few shades

My natural skin tone is the one circled in purple, I want to have the skin color of those circled in green. I’ve scrolled on this subreddit for a while, but everyone who has had success with lightening their skin turns out very white/pale. Is there anyone who has had success with just lightening a few shades?

I’ve tried vitamin C and Kojic acid for years but no results

Extracting 4 premolars and keeping wisdom teeth?

I have a severe overjet (9mm) and after many consultations with multiple dentists, it seems that my only solution is extracting healthy teeth. I’m afraid of the health complications (impaired airway, sunken face, arch narrowing) that come with this since my upper palate is already very narrow. All my wisdom teeth have erupted, and one dentist told me that he could extract 4 of my premolars and straighten them along with the rest of my teeth. Will this method would save me from having more complications since I’ll still have a “normal” amount of teeth?

I’m a 19 year old female, I’m considering braces for cosmetic reasons

None of the dentists I’ve been to are willing to explore palate expansion on me because of my age, nor are they willing to do IPR due to severity of my overjet
