A member asked:

For teeth extraction due to tooth overlapping, are there any future side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Extraction: If teeth are extracted and not replaced your other teeth will collapse into the extraction sites. Find the best Dentist you can and ask about alternatives. Crowded teeth can be straightened Orthodontically or replaced with esthetic restorations.
