Should i wear braces or let it be?
I would like to know if I should wear braces or just let it be. I have consulted a dentist. He says in order to see proper movement, two teeth each (One upper and Lower) in the left and in the right have to be removed. Therefore, I m losing 4 teeth which are properly functioning now.Kindly advise should I proceed removing the teeth and wear braces
You should go for the treatment. Removal of 4 teeth is very common in most orthodontic/braces treatment. This is done in order to create sufficient space for proper alignment of all the remaining teeth. In case the teeth are not removed, then the correction you are expecting might not be achieved. Rest assured, there is no loss in chewing ability or any other bad effect to your body. You can go for a second opinion from an orthodontist if in case your previous dentist wasn't a specialist.
