I am 21 years old this year and I am planning to have my teeth straightened. The doctor said that the front incisors and tiger teeth of the mandible are too crowded and there is no space. The first premolar on the right side of the mandible needs to be extracted!

Hello:

Normal tiger teeth cannot be removed.

The first premolar is a tooth often chosen for orthodontic reduction tooth extraction.

Mainly because its function is mainly to assist canines and molars, so extraction will have no significant impact on chewing function.

If the midline is not deviated, extraction on one side may cause the midline to deviate to the side of the tooth.
