Tooth extraction is a very common and mature method for orthodontic treatment. However, not all orthodontics require tooth extraction.

There are three situations where teeth must be extracted.

1. Patients with crowded teeth.

For these patients, due to the mismatch between tooth volume and bone volume, dental deformity occurs. Therefore, during orthodontic treatment, a certain number of teeth must be extracted to coordinate the relationship between tooth volume and bone volume and relieve the problem. To reduce crowding of teeth and reduce the recurrence of deformity.

2. Patients with facial protrusion.

For this type of patient, a certain number of teeth need to be extracted to obtain space, achieve the purpose of retracting the front teeth, moving the back teeth forward, and relieve facial protrusion, thereby making the patient's facial profile more beautiful. .

In the absence of obvious skeletal imbalance of the maxilla and mandible, the most fundamental reason for the occurrence of malocclusion is that the space of the alveolar bone is insufficient to accommodate all the existing teeth. Tooth extraction treatment can not only Better matching of tooth volume and bone volume can also make treatment results more stable.
