Orthodontics causing facial deformities?

Have you ever heard of a disfiguring facial condition that can happen to orthodontic patients who have extra teeth (4 more molars than most people)? Apparently, this condition happens because the orthodontist didn’t put brackets on the extra teeth. Left untreated, this condition eventually deforms the face. I am unable to find any information about this condition, but I know that it does exist. I personally do not have extra teeth, but my orthodontist removed the brackets from my rear molars. I am concerned that this thing is now happening to my face. Please help me if you can, my face is becoming more and more deformed as time goes on.
