The number of permanent teeth in human mouth is generally 28-32.
In most cases, the upper, lower, left and right (four quadrants) 1 bicuspid teeth will be selected for tooth extraction.
Some people find it hard to accept, and think that 1-2 is enough. It's unbearable to pull all four at once!
Each upper row of teeth in the mouth has a corresponding lower row of teeth, which cooperate with each other to complete the chewing function, ensuring the symmetry and beauty of the dental arch and face.
If one tooth is simply pulled out and the gap is closed, it will lead to tooth midline dislocation, dental arch deviation, abnormal chewing function, abnormal perioral muscles or facial deviation.
Of course, under some special circumstances, such as congenital tooth loss and serious jaw imbalance, doctors will choose unconventional tooth extraction methods, which is another matter!
Then can you just pull out the teeth that are not in your mouth?
Many friends have irregular teeth and are in the position of "tiger teeth".
This is because "tiger teeth" are teeth that grow late in the mouth. In crowded situations, there is usually no room for the last tooth.
Then "tiger teeth" are the teeth that play a key role in the beauty of the mouth and face. They support the mouth and maintain the fullness of the face, ensuring that the first six teeth exposed when smiling are a beautiful arc, not a rigid straight line. So tiger teeth are not dispensable.
Will tooth extraction damage your health?
Orthodontic tooth extraction will not have adverse effects on oral health and physical health. Before orthodontic treatment, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination to determine the local and physical conditions, and then choose the tooth position for tooth extraction. As for the treatment after tooth extraction, just follow the doctor's advice!
What about the gap between tooth extraction?
It is precisely because of the existence of tooth extraction gap that the incisors with orderly teeth arrangement and prominent crowding can be restored, and the tooth extraction gap will gradually close, leaving no gap at the end of orthodontic treatment.
