Is it better to pull extra teeth or use an expander?!
Question:
Is it better to pull extra teeth or use an expander?
I have been to a couple of different ortho's and some have told me they were going to use an expander and some say they want to pull my teeth. I currently have 8 teeth too many (including wisdom teeth) and am scared that if I pull the teeth it will change the shape of my face. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!!!

Relax.. I speak from experience.. my daughter had four supernumerary teeth (extra) that were surgically removed, the extra teeth were screwing up the way her teeth were growing in,and now, 2 years later, she is still as beautiful, but without crooked teeth..... I would say have them pulled, good luck with it!!
