This way, some patients are more comfortable and confident in their decision to extract teeth. Once the teeth are aligned, the amount of protrusion and esthetic outcome can be assessed in real life. The sooner extractions are done to prevent protrusion, the faster treatment will go.
These tools let us design the most efficient treatment plans possible. This can be predicted based on measurements we take during the consultation appointment, and even previewed with our 3D treatment simulation software. If the upper and lower teeth are protruding before treatment, chances are they will protrude even more once the teeth are aligned. Some patients would rather have a protrusive smile than have permanent teeth extracted, but in many cases, it is the only option to achieve the most stable and esthetic outcome. At the same time, teeth that protrude from their supporting bone are prone to gum recession. Without removing teeth, uprighting them to make them look more “flat” can push the roots of the teeth through the bone, which is definitely something to be avoided. If the underlying foundation isn’t large enough, the upper and lower teeth will be straight, but protrude, or “stick out”. The crowns of the teeth are much wider, and need more room for alignment. In certain cases, the upper and lower jaws are large enough to fit all of the roots of the front teeth, which are tapered.
