My ClearPath Orthodontist Has Said I need Teeth Removing, Are There Any Alternatives?
Q.
Dear doc,
I’m about to get clearpath aligners. My upper two teeth are fang like and the lower two teeth just look like huge cannines haha. The doctor says it will require extraction of the upper two and lower two teeth each because there is less space in my mouth as the size of my teeth are really huge. I really don’t find the removal of teeth to be very pleasing. Aren’t there any other alternative than to get the teeth extracted? i really don’t like the idea of having healthy teeth extracted and just wondered if there were any other braces or ANY alternatives available to me? I feel my dentist is taking advantage of me because I don’t have a lot of money. Please, please help. I really don’t want them to be taken out.

Hello and thanks for your questions. You could look at creating the space using expansion orthodontics but this will involve a fixed appliance, check out the Damon system. I hope this helps you out a little bit. Regards, Mark.
