Do you have to lose all your teeth get braces?
No, you don't have to lose all your teeth to get braces.
Braces are used to correct the alignment of the teeth and jaws. They are attached to the teeth and use gentle pressure to move the teeth into the desired position. In most cases, braces can be used to correct a wide variety of dental problems, including overcrowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove a tooth in order to make room for the other teeth to move. However, this is not always the case. If a tooth does need to be removed, it is usually a wisdom tooth or a severely impacted tooth.
If you are considering getting braces, talk to your dentist about whether or not you will need to have any teeth removed.
