Extracting only premolar for braces

2018-01-20 17:40:59
Is it okay to extract only one premolar for braces. I have overbite. My dentist said i would only require one teeth extraction, will that cause an off-centered smile. Or any other problems in future. Please help. It's very urgent.

You need to be evaluated by the orthodontist ( clip specialist). He who treats should ,take a call on your teeth extraction, required or not, Don’t jump in extraction with out proper evaluation.
