How many teeth do you have to lose for braces?

Answer 1

You need to have lost all of your baby teeth and all of your grown up teeth need to have if not fully but almost fully come in.

That is completley false, i have got braces and i have a baby tooth still, what they do is that they don't put a thing on that tooth and they give you 3 months to wobble your baby tooth out.

Answer 2

That would depend upon the work that needs to be done. I did not have any teeth pulled when I had braces as a youngster. As I have grown older, my teeth have crowded and straightening them would likely require removal of some teeth to create the space to allow the teeth to move back (and stay) in position.

Answer 3

You want all of your teeth to have fallen out that way your adult teeth are in and you do not have to worry about losing teeth will you have braces.

Answer 4

Depends on the size of your jaw and the size of your teeth. I didn't have to lose any, a friend of mine had her canines pulled.
