Need braces or DENTURES!? 26 years old...?

Teeth get pulled because of three main reasons: it's not restorable, bone around the teeth is gone which will cause the tooth to move a lot, or to make room for other teeth (braces for example). No dentist will pull your teeth out and give you dentures at such a young age. Getting dentures is a life style change (eg. cutting vegetables up into pieces, no more corn on the cob, etc) and not recommended on a whim.Get a consultation for braces from an orthodontist. If your general dentist doesn't do braces, then he or she can refer you to an orthodontist.
