What are the odds that the orthodontist recommend I need a tooth pulled mid treatment?

I asked all my questions, I like the people, the procedure, asked all my questions but I just wanna make sure cause i absolutely do not wanna pull teeth. I plan on making my down payment on Monday, 3800 out the door price, Los Angeles. If anyone has anything I should make sure of one last time I’d appreciate it.

I’m ending my search and my top 2 candidates (both offer a contracted discount on top of insurance so about $3500 and I think that includes everything but I’m not sure I’m gonna ask about that) and I’ll be messaging the contact person from each clinic on Monday, what are the best questions I should ask?

I was always under the impression you get let’s say 5, then come back in a month, the ortho looks at your teeth and adjust what they need to, but getting all (let’s say 35) at once just seems lazy on the ortho’s end, no?

Hey guys, so I know most of us are probably not orthodontist but I would like some advice on what I should do. I recently been to a total of 5 consultations wheeze 4/5 clinics took scans, X-rays, etc and told me I would be a good fit for Invisalign and I would only need IPR but today I went to a clinic and they didn’t even take my X-rays, pictures, etc and right as the doctor walked into the room he told me I need teeth pulled and I only qualify for braces.

I know my teeth are bad but (no offense) I’ve seen teeth 10x worse than mine on this sub and within their treatment period they walk away with Hollywood teeth.

The clinic I went to today also told me that IPR means I would need root canals in the future which honestly scared me.
