Serial Extractions
At Revive Dental Clinic, we provide serial extractions as part of a comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan. Serial extractions are performed to create space for permanent teeth, correct dental alignment, and improve overall oral health, especially in cases of overcrowding or malocclusion.
In some children, the natural growth and alignment of teeth can result in overcrowding or bite problems. Serial extractions help address these issues by carefully removing selected baby teeth to allow the permanent teeth to emerge in their proper positions. This procedure is often part of an early orthodontic approach to prevent further complications.
Benefits of Serial Extractions for Kids
Serial extractions are designed to enhance the development of your child’s smile by creating space for permanent teeth. By improving alignment early on, we can help avoid more complex dental treatments in the future.

Our skilled pediatric dentists and orthodontists will guide you through the process of serial extractions, ensuring your child’s comfort and well-being. We use the latest techniques to minimize discomfort and support healthy tooth development.
How Serial Extractions Work
During serial extractions, we carefully select and remove specific primary (baby) teeth to create room for the permanent teeth. This procedure is typically done in stages over time to ensure gradual, controlled development of the bite and jaw. We closely monitor your child’s progress to ensure optimal results and comfort throughout the treatment.
