Two Dentists With Contradicting Opinions: Whom To Believe?

Hi guys,

I had Damon braces installed last year and Dentist A can't seem to fix the open bite I have. She has opted to forego any tooth extraction before installation, because she advocates that healthy teeth should not be removed for no reason.

I decided to get a second opinion from Dentist B, because the open bite is still present. She advises to have all 4 (healthy) wisdom teeth extracted and I think 2 more premolars (lower) to make the Damon braces effective.

What is the general dentistry consensus when it comes to extracting healthy teeth?
 
It seems no professional can answer this question...
 
Hi Kathy,

Please see the sticky at the top of this forum that says "please read before posting" as it will clearly give you an answer as to why you may not have received a response. Our few volunteer dentists are very busy and try to use their limited time on here to help those suffering with dental anxiety and phobias. You may want to try on of the links provided in the sticky or search for a general dentistry forum. They are likely to have many more resources available to assist you.
