I had two dental implants put in and am considering having them removed to reduce my overjet with braces, they are premolars. Is it a straight forward procedure to have them removed like having a tooth extracted. They are not failing and are about a year old.

Answer: Ortho alternatives with braces
Implants do work as amazing anchors for help with braces. As an orthodontist, I am able to significantly improve what I am able to do with their help. Go see a good orthodontist and discuss your options. Removing the implants should not be one of them, hopefully

Answer: Removing Dental Implants for Braces
No, it is NOT as simple as removing a tooth. Much more involved. Perhaps you should explore other options, since the implants are so new.
