A Case for Not Extracting Teeth in Orthodontic Patients

 :: Posted by nealcmurphy on 07-13-2012

…“I feel that extracting teeth just to give someone a better smile is often tantamount to amputation in medicine…the side effects are worse than the problem to be treated. Extraction, like amputation is a primitive albeit definitive course of therapeutic action to be used ONLY as a last resort.”

(Williams Method)
