Hi it's a myth that the eyes get week if a tooth is removed. You and your parents must understand that in order to make space for the tooth to go back the doctor must have advise removal of two teeth in each jam. It if recommend for most of the patients undergoing braces who don't have adequate space for the tooth to be taken back.
