Teeth flair from braces?

#1 Post by noah16924 »

I am thinking about getting braces, and recently saw my orthodontist. He originally suggested to remove 4 teeth and braces about 2 years ago when I got a consultation but I did not want any extractions. I saw him again and he said he would be able to do it with braces over something like Invisalign since he would have more control over my teeth flaring. I wanted to get some more opinions on whether my teeth could flair out a lot after getting braces and if it would be a good decision to get them

You'd probably be well-advised to seek another opinion from a qualified orthodontist to better understand your options, and risk/benefit scenarios. I don't think that anyone here is qualified to venture any meaningful advice, otherwise. Best of luck to you.
