My ds is shortly to have braces...
Does anyone have any advice as to whether it's ALWAYS necessary to extract teeth before having braces. Somebody told me recently that many dentists nowadays feel that teeth can be straightened perfectly well without always assuming that some have to come out, and.. that extraction of permanent teeth can cause later problems. Any comments? I feel I need to be better informed before the next appointment.
