Will I Need To Have Any Teeth Pulled For These Braces To Work?

Needing teeth pulled for any type of braces depends on the problem that needs correcting and the age of the patient. If the patient is young and the jaw is still growing it may not be necessary to extract any teeth, however in an adult that has crowed teeth it may be the only choice. Only an orthodontist that has made an evaluation of the alignment or bite problem will know if any teeth will need to be extracted. In many cases when the teeth are moved into the correct placement there is room for the teeth that normally would have been pulled when using traditional braces over the Damon system to correct the teeth.

When using the Damon system there is less chance of needing teeth pulled because of the way these braces work to correct the teeth. Extracting teeth is something that orthodontist often need to do to make the necessary room that is needed when using traditional braces because they work differently to correct the alignment. With the Damon system the space that is needed to move the teeth is done in a manner that is natural for the teeth and since there is no high impact force used it often does not require tooth extraction. This is also the reason that these braces are less painful than traditional braces, as there is no extreme force used to move the teeth into the correct positions.
