In certain cases due to the severity of the crowding, a severely convex or pouty facial profile, poor patient cooperation, tooth destruction due to decay, accident  or gum disease, dental extractions are necessary during orthodontic treatment in order to achieve a beautiful smile.

Many times extractions may simplify  treatment but must be recommended only when non extraction methods will not reasonably produce the ideal smile. Your own regular dentist  will carry out the extractions for you.

 

It is important that you continue to visit your regular dentist  during orthodontic treatment.
