I have been told to extract 4 premolars for my braces treatment. Removing 4 teeth is very terrifying. So is it safe? Will it affect my vision or my brain?

Its a myth that tooth extractions affect d brain or eye. Their is no connection as they are supplied by different nerves. Concerns for extraction is genuine but if you want to get your teeth aligned and if space is less then you need to go for it. Anyways for further suggestions you can upload opg. Will try to help you out.
