Do you have to pull out your teeth to do orthodontics?
Tooth extraction is not necessary for orthodontics, but one of the ways of orthodontics. The purpose of orthodontics is to achieve aesthetic and functional effects by changing the position and arrangement of teeth. Tooth extraction is a common method. By pulling out some teeth, you can create space for other teeth to move to the correct position.

However, not all orthodontics requires tooth extraction. The specific situation needs to be determined according to the patient's oral condition and the doctor's advice. Some patients may need orthodontics because of crowded teeth, protruding teeth or large gaps in teeth. For these patients, the doctor may suggest the method of tooth extraction to create space for better arrangement of teeth.

There are also many patients who don't need tooth extraction. Some patients have neat teeth, but there are some minor problems, such as large gaps in teeth or slight protruding teeth. For such patients, doctors may use other methods to correct them, such as expanding the dental arch, pushing back the molars and not extracting teeth.

Some patients may not be suitable for tooth extraction because of their own physical condition or personal reasons. For example, some patients may suffer from chronic diseases such as heart disease and hypertension, and tooth extraction may bring risks. For these patients, the doctor will make a personalized correction plan according to the specific situation and try not to extract teeth.

In short, orthodontics does not necessarily require tooth extraction. Whether tooth extraction is necessary depends on the patient's oral condition and the doctor's advice. If you have irregular teeth or other oral problems, it is recommended to go to the stomatological hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible, and then make a choice after knowing your own specific situation. At the same time, it should be noted that in the process of orthodontics, we should maintain good oral hygiene habits and make regular follow-up visits to ensure the orthodontic effect and oral health.
