Should I proceed with teeth extractions?
Dentist wants 4 premolars and some/all wisdom teeth extracted for metal braces. Should I proceed with it? Or is my crowding too normal or mild for teeth extractions? Please I want a reply.

Left lower wisdom tooth has to be extracted.
Lower anteriors showing crowding. Lower first premolar(atleast single or both) may need extraction for alignment of teeth.
Upper dental protrusion can't be appreciated from opg., lateral cef and lateral profile picture, incisal occlusion will help.for determining those.
