Bite Correction By Extraction is a dental approach in orthodontics where 1 or more teeth are removed to help improve the alignment of the bite. The main goal is to create enough space in the mouth so that the remaining teeth can settle into a more natural position. This method is often used in cases of overcrowding, a mismatch between jaw size and tooth size, or significant bite irregularities such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.

While many treatment plans involve using braces or aligners after extraction to fine-tune positioning, this is not always necessary. In certain situations, the bite can improve naturally as the teeth adjust to the newly created space. The outcome aims to achieve a healthier bite, better oral function, and a more balanced appearance of the teeth and face.

Bite Correction By Extraction begins with a full orthodontic assessment, including X-rays, photographs, and measurements of the teeth and jaws. This helps determine whether removing certain teeth will improve alignment and bite balance. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, the teeth chosen for extraction often premolars or molars are identified based on the amount of space needed and the type of bite problem present.

On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is given to ensure comfort, and each extraction generally takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the tooth’s position and condition. In cases where multiple teeth are removed, the process may be completed in a single appointment or split over 2 visits. After the extraction, some mild swelling or soreness can occur, usually lasting 1 to 3 days. Most patients can return to normal daily activities within 24 hours, although hard or chewy foods should be avoided for 3 to 5 days to allow proper healing.

If additional orthodontic appliances such as braces or aligners are part of the plan, these may be fitted within a few days to a couple of weeks after extraction, depending on gum healing. In other cases, the bite may improve naturally over time without further devices. The main benefits of this process include creating space for crowded teeth, improving bite function, enhancing facial balance, and achieving more stable, long-term results for oral health and aesthetics.
