Braces overbite teeth extraction
I have overite and overjet, im on braces and my dentist said i have to extract 3 teeth to fix this, 2 from top and 1 from lower. I have doubt that 1 teeth extraction on lower can lead to assymmetry. If 1 premolar tooth from the lower is extracted than another side would have one more teeth, than how my lower teeth will have symmetry ? Kindly waiting for your response.

Hi. If there is less space needed to be created then we usually remove one teeth only. It has a little to do with the symmetry but just thinking about symmetry if we extract 2 teeth instead of one it might result in more space left over after the treatment is accomplished.
I hope I was able to clarify your query. Have a nice day
