Hello friends, all are welcome to /r/dentistry

What’s the best meal you’ve had in your life?

I don't mean to offend, but as a dentist, the braces anchors he states leaving big holes causing the infection doesn't sound plausible. The brackets and bands are just simply bonded/glued on and not meant to break teeth - that's why it's fairly common to accidentally debond brackets - thus they would have to be glued back again.

hi. Please don't nurse an infection. It will only get worse. If you were recommended extractions - either get a second opinion, or get the extraction.

Edit- when I said get a second opinion - its whether the infection can be resolved with a filling/root canal rather than extractions. But whatever can be done, leaving the infection is not a good option.

While that's possible, most (at least, good) orthodontists would remove the braces and will refuse continuation of orthodontic treatment without patient compliance regarding oral hygiene and keeping up with office visits. I once encountered an angry teen (and parent) when they were told their ortho treatment would be discontinued.
