A: Most friends who need correction come to see a doctor because they feel that their teeth are irregular or their mouths are protruding, which affects their appearance. However, it is definitely necessary to put the crowded teeth into the dental arch or put the protruding teeth in, so we often need to extract teeth to provide the needed gap. Simply put, there is not enough space, and you need to pull out your teeth to make room.

2. Can you not pull out your teeth?

A: Generally speaking, there are ways to pull it out, but it may not achieve the best effect. Let's give a simple example: a bench can only hold three people, but now it is four people. It must be crowded. You need to sit around. So how can we make everyone sit comfortably and neatly on the bench?

(1) Let the extra people get up and only sit for three people; Namely tooth extraction;

(2) among the four people, let a few fat people lose weight and sit down after losing weight; That is, the adjacent surface is glazed (sliced);

(3) lengthen the bench; That is, expanding dental arch is suitable for patients with dental arch stenosis. These are several methods that we often use to get the gap. Of course, the problems that need to be considered in the oral cavity are definitely complicated, so you need to communicate with your orthodontist, analyze the size of the gap needed, and find the most suitable plan for you.

3. What teeth do you need to pull out for orthodontic tooth extraction?

Answer: Orthodontic tooth extraction follows certain principles: 1. First, give priority to the extraction of broken teeth that have no retention value; 2. Consider pulling out teeth with low utilization value, such as No.4 teeth, No.5 teeth (premolars) and wisdom teeth. Because these teeth don't affect our beauty like incisors, and they play an indispensable role in chewing food like grinding teeth, they are often given priority in our orthodontic treatment.

4. Can small tiger teeth be pulled out when they grow outside the dental arch?

A: Generally, it is not considered. Because our tiger tooth is our tusk, it is the longest tooth among all our teeth, and the root is cylindrical, which is located in the place where we quarrel, so it plays a role in supporting the quarrel. If you pull out tiger teeth, especially when you are old, your mouth will often collapse, which will affect the appearance of your face, so pulling out is generally not considered.
