A member asked:

Please tell me if i should get teeth extracted for braces?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I can't: I don't know anything about you or your malocclusion. Approximately 30% of all orthodontic patients require the removal of 1 or more permanent teeth, 70% do not. To make the extraction/non-extraction decision you will have to be examined by an orthodontic specialist. Ask your dentist for a recommendation and go for an initial visit. Let the orthodontist help you with the decision.
