Can orthodontic treatment be done without extracting teeth?

In some cases, orthodontic treatment can be done without extracting teeth. However, there are situations where tooth extraction may be necessary to create enough space for proper alignment of the teeth and jaws. The decision to extract teeth depends on factors such as the severity of crowding, the size of the dental arches, and the overall treatment goals.

An orthodontist will carefully evaluate the individual's case and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan, which may or may not involve tooth extraction. It is important to trust the orthodontist's professional judgment and follow their recommendations for optimal results.
