What are extraction and non-extraction therapy, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Extraction therapy is a technique where selected permanent teeth are removed in conjunction with Orthodontic treatment. Non-extraction therapy simply indicates that no permanent teeth are removed as a part of aligning teeth during treatment. Whether or not permanent teeth need to be removed during orthodontic treatment involves careful consideration of the severity of the orthodontic problem and how treatment will impact facial esthetics. Our doctors carefully study your orthodontic records (photos, molds, x-rays) to determine the treatment plan that will optimize both facial and dental esthetics for you.
Extraction therapy is a technique where some teeth are removed to make room for the other teeth in your child’s mouth. This is in contrast to non-extraction therapy where one expands the patient’s jaw. We will make a thorough evaluation at the consultation and discuss the options to determine which procedure best suits the patient.
