If you are looking for an orthodontist who specializes in avoiding extractions when there are alternatives, Dr. Diego Peydro builds his approach around keeping as many of the patient’s natural teeth as possible.
An orthodontist who specializes in avoiding extractions weighs up every option first — expansion, sequencing the movements, aligners — and keeps extraction for cases where there is genuinely no other way.
Why keeping your natural teeth matters
Your natural teeth cannot be replaced. Keeping them helps preserve the bone, the bite and a more harmonious facial profile in the long run, as against the permanent loss an extraction means.
Real alternatives to extractions
Clear aligners make it possible to gain space without removing teeth in many cases of crowding and malocclusion:
- Arch expansion planned in 3D.
- Minimal interproximal reduction where appropriate.
- Controlled tooth movements with aligners.
A conservative approach, not a dogmatic one
Avoiding extractions does not mean ruling them out in every case. What sets a specialist apart is exhausting the alternatives before proposing to remove a healthy tooth, and explaining the reasoning behind every decision.

Frequently asked questions
Can extractions always be avoided?
Not always, but in far more cases than people think. It has to be looked at case by case.
What if I have already had teeth taken out?
We can plan your treatment too; we will look at it at the first visit.
