Braces and removing tooth
I just got my braces and I have a teeth that is slightly positioned forward(I think its called canines),the teeth that is pointy. The Orthodontist suggest to remove the tooth after that one I think its called pre molars, to give space to the canine teeth. He said to do it both side so it will be symmetrical. Is it really recommended to remove the premolars?
