Extraction for orthodontic treatment is not indicated in every case.If there is deficiency of space for proper alignment of teeth .Then only extraction is done. Or a tooth that cannot be aligned even with ortho wires. Don`t Worry .Any orthodontist who has advised extraction will never advise , until and unless req. For the treatment. If u still carry any doubt.U can always go for 2nd opinion at some other clinic.

Tooth extraction is often, but not always necessary for tooth straightening. It depends upon the status at the start of treatment. Also, if necessary, it is a perfectly safe procedure with a minimal risk of complications.

Dear , Please do not worry. Extractions are absolutely not necessary for teeth straightening. We do a number of cases if Smile Designing or Smile Makeovers where we are able to bring about massive corrections in the smile without doing any extractions at all. Also, since she has already undergone braces treatment, it all the more does not make any sense to go for extractions now. Please let me know if you need any further clarifications or photographs of how such corrections can be achieved.

Teeth extraction is required in some cases because space is needed to take teeth back or correct crowding. If she has already undergone 2 years treatment ask doctor why relapse occurred.
