I certainly agree with Dr Singh’s comments. It sounds like your canine is of poor quality as one dentist advised you to keep the healthy premolars? Extraction treatment plans should answer these questions: 1) does the facial and lip profile need to be softened by changing the lip support via extractions? Would taking out teeth cause excessive space to undermine lip support that is currently good, causing an ageing look? 2) Are there alternative ways to create space other than extraction of teeth? Can this be safely achieved? Will it take forever?
Tooth Extractions create immediate space to alleviate tooth problems that it was indicated for. Often times extractions would be indicated near the site of the problem such as first premolars for severe front teeth crowding. This can save time to resolve dental problems that the extractions were indicated for. Dental extractions create fairly large spaces ranging 6. 5-7. 5mm on average for premolar extractions for severe dental bite problems. Non-extraction methods of creating space are generally less and may not resolve very major dental bite problems.
Hi there and thank you for your question. Invisalign is an orthodontic appliance that works by contacting the surfaces of your teeth to nudge them to the next position. Invisalign is customised and designed to be as close-fitting as possible to your tooth surface to effect tooth movement and have a better grip to stay in the mouth. Cavities restored with fillings that follow the original shape of the teeth pose NO PROBLEMS to Invisalign treatment.
