your existing orthodontist has already discussed your treatment plan and has decided to extract to gain space for tooth to move in .but If you are not convinced with his judgement then you are In need of a second opinion . So visit one more orthodontist nearby and clarify.

Hi. The first premolars are the most commonly extracted teeth in order to gain space and retract your forwardly placed teeth. Your orthodontist must have taken the right decision. You can always sit and discuss with him the need and importance of the extraction in your orthodontic treatment. Good luck.
