Straight teeth, a harmonious smile and a balanced facial profile are some of the primary goals of orthodontics. In certain cases, extracting teeth may have a negative impact on achieving these goals. Modern technology has enabled Dr. Olson and his staff to provide advanced orthodontic procedures and techniques, and as a result removing teeth is frequently not necessary for successful orthodontic treatment. Removing teeth in certain cases is sometimes required to achieve the best orthodontic result. Each case is unique, and Dr. Olson carefully takes into consideration your tooth position, bite, and facial profile in order to develop a treatment approach that will address your goals and best suit your orthodontic needs.
