Do clear braces require tooth extraction?
Besides the technical and method factors, clear braces with tooth extraction are not of much interest to many people. According to doctors, whether or not clear braces can have teeth extracted depends on each person’s condition. In some cases where the jaw is narrow and does not have enough room despite expansion, teeth may have to be extracted to create space for the teeth to move easily.
Tooth extraction helps teeth move easily and spread evenly, resulting in higher orthodontic effectiveness, more even and closer teeth. Besides, tooth extraction in orthodontics is not too scary because the doctor considers choosing teeth that do not affect aesthetics and do not have much activity on the jaw such as tooth number 4 or wisdom teeth.
