Why Extract For Orthodontic Treatment?
Oftentimes, extraction of selected teeth is required to accomplish the esthetic and functional goals of an orthodontic case. There are many reasons why teeth should be extracted, but the most common reasons are. I. Provide, room for alignment of crowded teeth. Crowded teeth can always be straightened, but the result of straightening crowded teeth is always more protrusion, as the teeth move more forward to accommodate the increased amount of tooth material. In some cases, the forward movement of the front teeth would make the teeth appear to stick out of the mouth, maybe not allowing the lips to close at rest. II. Provide space to move the front teeth: if the upper teeth are protruded in front of the lowers, or vice versa, then there must be space made on the side of the mouth to allow backward movement of the front teeth by orthodontic tooth movement, so no one knows the difference in the finished smile. III. Badly decayed or missing permanent teeth. In some cases saving badly damaged
