Orthodontic treatment may or may not require tooth/teeth removal. The decision is taken based on the alignment of ur Teeth.
It is a very common myth that tooth removal causes eye problems,
There is no such correlation and hence u can go ahead with extraction of your tooth/teeth without any fear
Next Steps
Ask your orthodontist about the no. Of teeth that need to be removed

Number of teeth to be removed depends on your existing alignment of teeth. Extraction of teeth will not affect eye sight.
