Abstract

When seeking Orthodontic treatment, patients often ask “Do I need to remove my teeth to get an ideal smile?”

Adult patients with severe skeletal discrepancy may require not only tooth extraction but also surgical intervention to achieve the desired treatment outcome. Early detection and treatment of small problems may prevent such severe situations from developing. As such, early intervention is important to prevent an otherwise complicated case.

He will also talk about patient consultation as an integral part of starting the treatment.
