Well i got one tooth extracted. I'm getting braces in two weeks but, I'm not worried because if the dentist did that its because you didn't have space in your mouth and he is going to move your teethes on a way that one of your teethes will replace the one that he took off. Don't worry he knows what he is doing. You are going to look great! :)


Good luck!

Reply:I was going to have my teeth extracted, but i've decided to use springs, because my parents were insisting hey were too nice to be taken out.


I asked the orthodontist the same thing, and he said that in 1 week or so, they'll heal because the teeth will move in those places, right? (that's why the extraction took place0 so you'll be fine.
Reply:yes most definatly i had braces for 4 whole years so you can imagin how bad they were and now i get people come up to me and tell me i have a nice smile!! so yes honestly truely its worth it
Reply:I had two teeth extracted before braces, but I had to have false ones in their places. Most people can't tell I have fake teeth, or that I've ever had any pulled. Braces do amazing things.
Reply:I had teethe extracted before I got braces also. My jaw and mouth are just too small for all the teeth to fit without crowding, so they took 2 out and I wore braces for 3 years and my teeth look perfectly normal. My braces were removed 13 years ago and my teeth would be completely straight except that I could not wear the retainers afterwards because they just could not fit comfortably in my mouth, no matter how small they made it.
Reply:I think you'll be just fine. I went through oral surgeory to have 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted and another tooth pulled before I had my braces put on. I'm about to have my braces taken off, and my teeth are looking great. Just trust your dentist. He wasn't trained for years in this field for nothing!
Reply:its so true i know how ur feeling right now and it may be painful but it's so worth it
Reply:Save all your teeth. The braces will close up the gaps but now you're missing YOUR perfectly good teeth.





Ortho's CAN work around them, so insist on keeping them!
Reply:The removal does help the teeth to have more space to move. I had two removed and after 4 years i have perfect teeth. Dont worry, the ortho knows what he is doing
