Do i have get my teeth removed for braces?

Question

i have a small mouth and if i get braces my teeth have to move back to be corrected but i was told i have to get my back teeth(4) removed to get my braces. is there any other way around get teeth pulled for braces?

Answer 1

some people dont but it depends on if you need to have them pulled. when i got braces, they had to remove all my wisdom teeth in order to put the braces in because the teeth were crowding my mouth and making them crooked.

Answer 2

Oh goodness no!! i have the same problem rite now my mouth was too small for all my teeth so my dentist gave me something called an expander or a spacer u crank it like once a week and it spaces out ur teeth i have had mine in for about three months and it moves your teeth extremely quick there are side effects like spitting that was fun and u have a lisp but it is all worth it in the end i get my breces the 15 of august

Answer 3

If they are your wisdom teeth then yes they have to be removed, but there are different braces called Damon braces where you don't have to remove any teeth no matter how much crowding there is. The only problem is that they are about 2 - 3 grand more expensive then regular braces.

Are those 4 teeth being removed your molars?

Answer 4

if you have to is itsn't that bad, it doesn't hurt, but there is a little pressure, i had to get 4 of mine removed, i didn't want to, and my sis din't have to, but i had to. It was cause i had an overbite.... anyway, you might, you might not, and the 4 teeth they were refering to, may be your wisdom teeth, and they put you out for that, so yeah

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!-----d:^)

Answer 5

Not really.  I had the same thing.  If you get the braces without getting any teeth pulled you will end up in worse shape because it will crowed your teeth making them overlap and painful

Answer 6

nope, the ortho has reasons,that will eiether mess with the braces or the braces won't  work, If ur confused ask why. Good LLuckk =)
