Teeth slicing for braces, is it required

2020-09-19 19:01:16
Is it good to get teeth sliced to get space for braces to correct overcrowding? As it would remove the enamel. Is there any alternative to this apart from tooth removal. I have attached my X-rays, please assist. Thank-you.

Too much of slicing is injurious. If mild then no problems.

Hello, teeth slicing is a very normal and routine procedure in orthodontics when done under the recommended limits. If it is overdone, then it causes persistent sensitivity. So don't worry about. It is mostly safe. Another option would be to extract 4 of your teeth and fill that space by taking your front teeth back and moving your back teeth forward.
