If you have been told you need four teeth out to have orthodontics, our advice is straightforward: get a second opinion before making an irreversible decision. Removing healthy teeth is not always the only solution.
A second opinion in orthodontics before having four teeth out can spare you the loss of natural teeth that, with the right technique, could be kept.
Why get a second opinion before an extraction
Extractions in orthodontics are irreversible. A second assessment lets you compare approaches and understand whether there is an alternative that keeps your teeth:
- Confirming (or not) that the extractions really are necessary.
- Finding out about alternatives such as expansion or clear aligners.
- Deciding calmly and without pressure.
Many cases planned with extractions have an alternative
A good share of the treatments proposed with extractions can be solved today with clear aligners, creating space in a controlled way with digital planning and keeping the healthy teeth.
