I'm looking for a place that specializes in orthodontic treatment for crowded teeth, and my biggest worry is whether or not I'll need to have a tooth extracted.

I'm wondering if the treatment period gets longer if the crowding is severe.

Do clinics that specialize in crowding treatment look at facial balance as well as tooth alignment?

I've seen a lot of reviews saying that the discomfort of the appliance is harder to deal with than the pain; what is it actually like? Haha.

For those of you looking for a good place to correct crowded teeth, how many places have you visited for consultations?
