Orthodontic Treatment Without Pulling Teeth
We expand the range of cases that can be treated without extractions, and correct your teeth non-extraction whenever possible.
Tooth extraction is the most common way to secure the space needed to align or move teeth. At Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic, we widen the range of non-extraction treatment: we use not only interproximal reduction (reshaping between the teeth) but also make maximum use of the space behind the back teeth to complete orthodontic treatment without extractions.
How? Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic's Non-Extraction Orthodontic Know-How
Case 1: intraoral side views and facial profile, before and after. Case 2: X-rays and intraoral photos, before and after.
- Conventional non-extraction orthodontics relies on interproximal reduction and uses that created space for treatment. This conventional approach works in many cases, but depending on the patient's situation, in severe cases non-extraction treatment is often impossible.
- At Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic, we expand the scope of non-extraction orthodontic treatment by utilizing the space behind the back teeth. Even when a wisdom tooth that is highly difficult to extract lies impacted in that alveolar bone space, Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic performs such high-difficulty wisdom tooth extractions in-house — without referral to a university hospital — through collaborative care with our oral surgery specialist.
