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.

Will ClearPath aligners reduce my overbite?

Q.

Dear Doctor,
Need some advice on ClearPath aligners.
I have an 8mm overjet and the upper front teeths and slightly angled out and gaps between upper four front teeths. If the teeths are pulled back to close the gaps, I think the overjet can be reduced to 5-4mm and and this can close the gaps.Do you think ClearPath aligners can be useful for me.? Do clearpath aligners are used for this kind of malocclusions…? I am 27 years old now.

I have to wait 30-40 days for my ClearPath aligners to arrive, will my teeth change position by then?

Q.

Hi, I had finished my metal brace treatment some 6 years back. But over the time the teeth have relapsed now.
So I had now ordered ClearPath aligners thinking that they could help with my problem. So the bite impressions and moulds are taken and sent to the aligner manufacturer.
Here is my worry… It will take 30-40 days to receive the aligners. Is there a chance that my teeth are still relapsing, and it will move in 30-40 days? So is there a chance the aligner wont fit in my teeth, since the measurements have been changed since…?
Or is it like, the teeth can not move that much in 30-40 days, and also since I had finished my braces some 7 years back…? Thank you for any advice you can provide for me.
