Should i get my teeth removed?

Q. Hi i’m 15 years old and i don’t live in uk (i’m a student studying in sri lanka) but please do answer my questions :)i’ve been visiting so many dentists and orthodontist for consultations on braces and all of them tells me that i need to extract 4 teeth if i wanted to get braces done.. well..i don’t want to remove any teeth but.. my front teeth are front and they slightly overlap and i’ve got an extra tooth on the bottom..other teeth are quite straight and they don’t look crooked and they (dentists and orthodontists also said that too) they say that i have approximately 8~10mm of space when i bite my teeth together and that my teeth are crowded.. would i really have to get my 4 teeth removed?

A. It sounds like they are correct.

Don’t do it. The orthodontist you are seeing is not good. He is going by old studies that are now diminishing fast. I had this done and have been extremely unhappy through life. It ruins your face, I promise!

Don’t do it!
