Fixing open bite without pulling teeth? (Photo)

April 20, 2014
Asked By:martinhallberg in Sweden, SE

Hi! I have been to a orthodontic and discussed my teeth. She said that I probably need Jaw surgery as well as braces. She also said that i probably need to pull out some of my teeth to be able to close my open bite. I read some articles that say that pulling teeth is not nessecary and you can widen the jaw instead to get better results. Do you think this is true in my case? / Thanks!
