In my opinion not all cases require extraction. Keeping in mind the amount of space; that is the main criteria needed to decide whether extraction is needed or not. But before planning treatment opg and lateral cephelogram ( dental xrays) must be taken. After the case study the orthodontist will suggest whether tooth extraction is required or not. In my conclusion each individual case is different ,not all cases require extraction based on the clinical findings.

Treatment with extraction or without extraction can be decided based the amount of space available to move your front teeth backwards. For the correct treatment plan we need to do clinical examination, a set of x-rays and study models.

Hello
Not all cases indicated for treatment with braces require teeth removal.
The decision is taken once we check the teeth clinically as well as with the help of specific X-rays which can help us confirm the treatment plan and requirement,if any, for teeth removal.
Next Steps
Schedule an appointment with the orthodontist to start the treatment planning

It totally depends upon hw much space is needed to put your teeth back in proper alignment ... If your teeth are very proclaimed then you will need extraction otherwise if small correction is needed u might not need to get your teeth removed ... An orthodontist will tell u the best ..

So do visit an orthodontist .. A person specialised for this job
