The surge in popularity of plastic surgery treatments, it’s no surprise that orthodontic procedures are on the rise.
In fact, if you go to an orthodontist, you will very likely hear different opinions about how to treat your teeth. If the orthodontist suggests invasive treatments, like pulling several teeth to create more space or jaw surgery, and you don’t feel comfortable, it’s a good idea to seek a second or even third opinion. It is hard to replace extracted teeth. In some cases there may be a less invasive treatment polishing off some of the enamel between teeth, to create more space. Be sure to inquire about alternative treatments and the possible risks each option poses. Ask the orthodontist if you can see pictures of cases similar to yours that were treated in the same manner. Better yet, if you could talk to former patients who have gone through the same treatment and are willing to talk to potential patients about their experience.
Even orthodontists admit that straightening teeth is not an exact science it is an art.
