I intent to go for ceramic braces which requires extraction of premolars. Does the extraction or the process has to do something with brain in anyway?

Hello Maam. First and foremost ma'am, your question has been asked by almost all my patients before any kind of extraction. It's a very common myth that tooth extraction may effect brain and eyes or a person's hearing. It does not. You need to understand that the blood and nerve supply of the teeth is very different from that of eyes or brain. There will be no side effects to brain or eyes or ears after extraction. Also, extraction of premolars before or during orthodontic treatment is very common and very safe. Please go ahead with extraction without any fear. Hoping that our reply may have elevated some of your fear. Regards, Dr Arshita. Dentaire @BH, Dental Clinic, Banjara hills, Road no 4.

The most important thing to understand is that the nerves that supply your teeth do not have any far correlation with nerves supplying your brain or eyes.. so don't be scared.
