I went to the orthodontist and he said i was a good candidate and right at the end i asked him “will i need to have any extractions?” and he said “yes, one of the front bottom teeth”. I was a bit in shock because i’ve seen other cases of crowding like mine on websites that didnt need extractions and just the thought of removing a healthy tooth kills me. Im going to go back next time and ask him if i could not do the extraction and just do a bit more filing…or maybe i could get normal wire braces on the bottom teeth if that means i could keep that tooth. My bite is fine its just the crookedness appearance i want to fix. Heres a pic of my teeth, if you have any advice for me. I guess what i want to know is if he’d be less likely to pull that tooth if i got wire braces on the bottom teeth.http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr4/k…
