Orthodontics Ask The Dentist - Edward Leventhal Question:
I am 21 and I am going to get braces. My teeth are very crowded. My canines really stick out and I need 2 upper teeth removed for them to fit properly.

How is the dentist going to realign my canines when the other teeth are removed? Am I still going to have protruding canines and big gaps when I get braces put on? ... Aimee in Orange, New South Wales, Australia

Answer:
Aimee, by removing two upper teeth, your canines will basically replace the spots (in a rough sense) and the braces and wire adjustments will close the gaps
