Doc narain - please do not watch videos , just find a good postgraduate dental surgeon and its completely painless plus no question of bleeding that way . Its quick & simple job . Get an OPJ , that is xray of whole jaw before you go for extraction , i think the dentist will ask you to go for one .
ReplyDeleteJustin Kery - My teeth were never perfectly straight, and they got more crooked as I got older (despite 4 impacted wisdom teeth being removed in my early 20s). By my early 30s I wanted braces, but every orthodontist that I saw (and I saw plenty) told me that I needed 4 teeth extracted. Well, I didn't like that one bit. In fact, I was totally against it. So I just resolved to live with crooked teeth.
ReplyDeleteFast forward 10 years. Here I am, at age 43 in braces, with a near-perfect smile, which was only achieved by -- you guessed it -- extracting 4 second bicuspids. Boy, do I wish I'd had this done 10 years ago. Now I feel really silly for being so scared and waiting so long.
The orthodontist who finally treated me tried very hard to fix my teeth without extracting, but it just didn't work. (I applaud his earnest efforts on my behalf). Six months into treatment, it was evident to me (and to him), that the extractions were necessary. At this point I felt better about it because at least we had TRIED the other way.
Was I remorseful about losing those perfectly healthy teeth for the sake of beauty? Yes, of course I was! I felt sick about it! After the extraction, I kept thinking, "Oh God, have I done the right thing?" But soon I got over it. Now that the extraction gaps have closed and my smile looks great, I know I made the right decision. I was worried that extracting teeth would negatively impact my facial aesthetics (which, IMO, didn't need any changing). But you know what? The change is very subtle, and in fact, it is actually good.
But that is my experience and it may not be the same as your experience. Sometimes if the mouth and smile are already "small," depending on your facial bone structure, extractions may result in your face looking "sunken in" over time because the underlying structure has been changed. Before you decide on extractions, you should get several opinions, ask how your facial aesthetics may change, and think about it carefully. In some cases, other methods can be used to make space, such as "shaving" the teeth or using Damon-type brackets (whose manufacturer claims that they eliminate the need for extraction in some patients). This orthodontist's web page talks a little bit about why he feels Damon brackets help eliminate some extractions. As time goes on, there may be other methods developed which also help to reduce the need for extractions.
