Experts say that tooth extraction is a very common phenomenon in orthodontic treatment, and generally 60% ~ 70% of patients need tooth extraction. The purpose of tooth extraction is to ensure the establishment of a good occlusal relationship and ensure the beauty and stability of teeth after orthodontic treatment.

But orthodontic treatment is very professional, and all teeth that are not used should be pulled out. Can specific orthodontic treatment be done without tooth extraction? It depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, tooth extraction to correct tooth eruption mainly includes:

1. When the protruding teeth are seriously crowded or close to being seriously crowded, in this case, if you want to arrange the teeth, meet the aesthetic requirements and ensure the stability of the corrected effect, you must extract the teeth as needed. If the teeth are not extracted and the dentition is barely arranged, the effect of orthodontics will be unstable and it will easily relapse into the original crowded malocclusion.

2. Dentate maxillary protrusion and bimaxillary protrusion appear in the protruding teeth, and tooth extraction is also needed to correct the protrusion deformity.
