You don’t need extractions for every gap‑closure plan—get a second opinion. Options a dentist might discuss: braces or clear aligners to move teeth together (no extractions, preserves teeth); if the gap’s small and it’s about shape/symmetry, bonding or veneers can mask it without pulling any teeth. Extraction‑based plans exist for severe crowding, but if you feel it’d look worse, press for alternatives and ask to see a simulation. From the photos, colour looks within a normal range on my screen (slightly warm, no obvious decay), but screens lie—a dentist needs to check enamel health and stains in person. Ask for a trial wax‑up or digital mock‑up so you can preview symmetry before committing.
