Generally, tooth extraction is required only when the teeth are crowded or the situation is complex. Not everyone needs tooth extraction for orthodontic treatment.
If you are worried about the pain of dental surgery and the impact on the nerves, it is recommended that you choose invisible braces. In addition to the transparent braces, the invisible braces do not affect the appearance. Another big advantage is that they are comfortable and will not hurt when worn. Will not affect IQ.
I use Invisalign. Basically, you will feel tight for a day or two after putting on a new pair of braces. The rest of the time, you won’t have the pain of metal braces. It’s quite suitable for people like you. For those of you who are more cautious, I hope this is useful to you.
