The decision to extract teeth in orthodontic treatment, including cases of maxillary (upper jaw) protrusion, depends on various factors and requires a comprehensive evaluation by an orthodontist.
In some cases of maxillary protrusion, it may be necessary to extract teeth to create space for proper alignment and correction of the bite. The specific teeth that need extraction would be determined based on the individual's dental condition, jaw structure, facial profile, and other factors.
Extracting teeth in the maxillary area alone, without extracting any teeth from the mandibular (lower jaw) area, is known as one arch extraction. This approach may be suitable for certain cases, depending on the patient's needs and the orthodontist's assessment. However, the decision to extract teeth from one or both arches is highly dependent on the specific situation and the treatment plan proposed by the orthodontist.
