Please tell me, could i choose which tooth to extract for braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Your orthodontist will discuss which teeth, if any, will be the best to remove in order to obtain the best functional and cosmetic result. That is what he\she was trained to do. Discuss this issue with the orthodontist and I am sure you will both end up agreeing on which tooth\teeth is best to remove, if necessary.

Do i need to get a fiberotomy after my braces are removed? I just found out about fiberotomy procedures, and am a little confused. Is this something that's done routinely after someone has braces? Is it something that's done for every tooth that might rot
