extraction of teeth

Why some orthodontists recommend extractions of teeth healthy?
E 'possible to complete a cure without removing the teeth?

The modern orthodontics is oriented orthodontic treatment without extractions, because in fact you should never pull out of the teeth are healthy, when you can not do it?

Indeed, using modern techniques and starting treatment early in life, is almost always can prevent dental extractions (typically two upper premolars and two lower). Even the stronger scrum can be resolved successfully.
The arch more difficult, as all orthodontists know, is the lower. Are in fact the crowd below, those pushing some orthodontists choose the dental extractions. Today however, with the careful use of devices such as the lip bumper, into the crowd below are also resolved by 10 mm.

We recommend the abstractions, only in extreme cases, where the overcrowding is complicated by adverse skeletal frameworks and excessive dental inclinations. Only in these cases does not pull out could endanger the stability of the teeth and all'estetica patient.

The wisdom teeth

Be extracted wisdom teeth? Why dentists recommend extraction of wisdom teeth?

In the past, fever extraction wisdom teeth had come to the point of making the second round of germectomia "in children of about 10 years. The assumption was that both the wisdom teeth, when born, always causing problems, including overcrowding of the lower incisors.

By studying the literature, are now several years that we know that the wisdom teeth (second round) will not cause no overcrowding and can not push the teeth incisors in any direction. So do not extract more for orthodontic reasons. Do not you make more (or rather, one should not make more) germectomia of the wisdom teeth at an early age, why is not justified.

When the wisdom teeth are unable to erompere, why did not remain in space and include bone and / or mucosa, must be extracted before which may cause damage to neighboring teeth. This situation occurs usually after twenty years of age and making a slab view of dental arches, we realize that the wisdom teeth have remained within bone and no longer have the opportunity to be born.
