Is It Possible To Wear Braces Without Removing The Tooth?
Hi, yes i have all my fully grown teeth but i seemed to have a baby tooth inside my gum. And my dentist said that before getting braces that I needed to get my fully grown adult tooth taken out . what happens if I decide not to get my tooth taken out and just get braces?

Hello.thank you for sharing your problem with healthcare magic.
Generally over retained deciduous teeth need to be taken out.
In your case its orthodontic problem .and sometimes due to lack of adequate space permanent teeth need to be taken out too .In that case you can't skip extraction and go with braces only. you can get better treatment from orthodontist than general dentist.
You can consult for further queries.
Wish you good health.
