Teeth are extracted for orthodontic treatment to gain space, so that the remaining teeth can be aligned. There are other ways to gain space like proximal stripping, arch expansion, distallization, uprighting of tilted back teeth etc. Orthodontist will decide if there is need of teeth extraction by clinical and radiographic examination of your mouth and face. It is recommended to consult your orthodontist for the same.
