Braces, Extractions, and Gaps
I have crooked teeth and I have always wanted them straighten out as a kid but my family at the time could not afford the extra expense of my getting braces. Now that I am an adult I have been looking into adult braces. I talked to an orthodontic dentist for a free consult.
He told me that I would need to have two of my back teeth pulled by an oral surgeon before he would be able to put braces on my teeth to straighten them out. This worries me. I do not want to pull out my teeth. I do not want to be left with gaps just to have straight teeth.
Well the braces fixed the gaps that are left as well as straighten my teeth?
