Hi, my age is twenty. I don't want to remove my teeth for wearing braces. I came to know about ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functional) appliance, which doesn't require to remove teeth in a website. Is there any doctor in India who follows this technique or any suggestions? Please help me. I'm living in Bangalore.

If tooth removal is required to bring the teeth in shape, there is no substitute till date. On the other hand, tooth removal is not required in minor crowding and other irregularities cases. Most recent and most advanced technology is INVISALIGN. This also cannot escape tooth removal in severe teeth irregularities.
