A lot of patients have the misconception that tooth extraction is not required for clear aligners. However, if patients think that by choosing clear aligners they can avoid tooth extraction. This is not the case, with clear aligners there are some cases where tooth extractions are necessary.

Though orthodontists will try and prevent tooth extractions to give the best results but when needed tooth extractions also need to be done. Whether a tooth extraction is required a orthodontist will do a examination and x-rays will be taken and will give you a detailed treatment plan which will explain whether extractions are required.
