A member asked:
Can braces fix protruding teeth without extraction of premolars/molars? help please?

Depends: It really depends on the severity of the protrusion. If the amount of retraction requires more than a few millimeters of space your orthodontist may consider extraction.

Sometimes: Depends on whether or not there is room to retract the protruding teeth or not. See a Specialist Orthodontist, Initial examination usually free. Orthodontist can then discuss seriousness of your malocclusion, treatment options, cost and payment options. So go find out what wonderful treatment can do for you. See an Orthodontist.
