If you’ve been told that tooth extractions may be necessary, you might wonder whether braces are still possible. The answer depends on your bite, jaw structure and overall oral health. Not every patient needs extractions to achieve a healthy, functional smile.
Exploring Different Orthodontic Approaches
Orthodontic treatment can be tailored in various ways. Some traditional braces plans may involve removing teeth to create space for proper alignment. However, there are also techniques that aim to straighten teeth without extractions, depending on your specific dental needs.
What Non-Extraction Orthodontics Involves
Non-extraction orthodontics Prahran focuses on aligning teeth without removing them. This can include methods such as arch expansion, careful tooth reshaping or strategic movement. While not every patient qualifies, these techniques can sometimes reduce or avoid the need for extractions.
