The dr is now asking me extract 4 pre molar which I m reluctant to do.pls suggest how to continue the treatment with non extraction.my teeth is not overcrowded.it's protruded
Please go ahead with extraction if your orthodontist has suggested you. Generally decisions about extractions in orthodontics are taken at the beginning of treatment and patients are informed about the same. There are very few instances where patients are told to extract teeth after treatment is begun.
Next Steps
go head with extractions or take second opinion
