  13. Why do teeth sometimes need to be removed?

On occasion, selective removal of primary (baby) teeth may alleviate future crowding by allowing permanent teeth to erupt in a more desirable location and in the correct order. Sometimes, particularly in cases of severe crowding, permanent teeth may need to be removed as part of your orthodontic treatment. Tooth removal will be recommended only if it is absolutely necessary and would improve your prospects for successful orthodontic treatment.
