Why is my dentist fitting my brace then extracting my teeth?
August 23rd, 2011Q.
Hello I have just come back home from a trip to the dentist and I am really confused, I am going to have braces put on within the next two weeks and was told I would need tooth extractions. However, the dentist said he is going to put the braces on first and then perform the tooth extractions afterwards. This sounds a bit strange to me. Why would teeth extractions come after braces being put on when dealing with crowding? Iam having fixed braces put on privately if this is of help to your diagnosis. thanks!
