In cases of bimaxillary protrusion, extraction of teeth is sometimes recommended to create space and reduce lip protrusion. This helps in improving facial profile and aligning the teeth properly.
However, extraction is not required in every case. The decision depends on:
• Severity of protrusion
• Amount of crowding
• Facial profile
• X-rays and cephalometric analysis
At 19 years of age, orthodontic treatment can give good results. If you are unsure, you can take a second opinion from another orthodontist before deciding on extractions.
Do not rush into extraction without proper diagnosis and treatment planning. A detailed clinical examination and records are necessary to choose the best option for you.

Health Tips
If profile improvement (less forward lips, easier lip closure) is your main concern, extraction + retraction usually gives the best result. Non-extraction options often limit how much the lips can come back
