Hello
It all.depends on your alignment of teeth. if we have sufficient space to align your teeth generally we dont advice extraction.
Let's take a simple e.g if we have crowded chairs in a room and space is less we need to remove few chairs from the room to accommodate other chairs neatly in the room...same is your case...
Hope it helps take care

Teeth extraction is recommended in cases where there is less place available to put the teeth in arch. Though every decision is case specific . U can seek a second opinion if you are in doubt.
