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. .

3. Patients who need to correct their bite relationship.

These patients need to extract teeth to adjust the occlusal relationship due to the asymmetry of the upper and lower teeth.

Many patients are worried about the discoloration of their extracted teeth, so they would rather give up orthodontic treatment.

In fact, as long as you go to an orthodontic specialist in a regular hospital, tooth extraction is a very common and mature treatment method. Tooth extraction will not cause harm to the patient's function and health.

Tooth extraction treatment is to coordinate the inconsistency between tooth volume and bone volume.

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. Moreover, the facial features of Asians are that their noses are not straight enough, their lips are protruding, and their chins are not as well developed as Westerners. In order to achieve a better facial shape, about 60% of patients require tooth extraction and correction.

After orthodontic treatment, the teeth will be aligned neatly, the bite relationship will be normal, and the oral system will be healthier. Therefore, orthodontic tooth extraction is beneficial and harmless to the patient.
