Hi, my girlfriend, age 28, recently saw an orthodontist for a consultation on whether or not to get braces. I was present, and we both trusted this man and appreciated the amount of time he spent explaining things to us. Everyone agreed that she has a malocclusion and that braces would probably correct the problem. What bothered us was that the orthodontist wanted to remove three healthy teeth to begin the orthodontic program. I understand the concept of sacrificing a few teeth for the good of the whole mouth, but is it normal to do this? Thanks for your help. alan
