Orthodontics Ask The Dentist - Dr. Elizabeth Robles

Question:
I have trouble with two upper teeth 6 back on both sides. Both have root fillings. I need orthodontic treatment and they said that 2 teeth have to be removed (they said 4 back from front on both sides) - Would it be possible to remove my bad teeth (6 back) for this treatment instead of 2 healthy (4 back)teeth? The treatment is a regular brace (Overbite correction). ...William in Avon, England, UK

Answer:
William, it's possible, the treatment might be more involved as far as pulling all side teeth further back, but it's possible.

Elizabeth C. Robles, DDS
