| 1. I had the same situation... |
|
...and they did both on me: pulled four teeth and then I had to wear an appliance on my uppers that spread the palate. Of course when my wisdom teeth came in seven-eight years later, it un-did all my ortho work.
Pulling teeth may be the least expensive option because that appliance made life hell for months.
Or maybe I have just confused you more...

| 3. I fear that if I spend oodles of cash on expansion...will it guarantee |
|
that the impacted tooth will have room and that it will move....
I am very concerned about this....
but then again...just pulling teeth isn't an option either...
