It depends on each case and treatment planning. Each orthodontist follows his principles. So if you need more information, take a second opinion from a different orthodontist and discuss your concerns.

Hi..
It depends on the case, many times braces are fixed first so extraction becomes easy.
Or in some cases it is necessary to extract teeth first and then fix braces.
Its better let your Orthodontist decide about first step.

It completely depends upon the orthodontist who takes a call about the extraction whether it has to be done before treatment or during the course of treatment.In some conditions orthodontist feels Patient doesn’t require extraction ....but during the course of treatment he might feel the patient might require extraction....when is the extraction done doesn’t affect the treatment outcome much.
