Extraction therapy is an established orthodontic technique where selected permanent teeth are removed to make room for the other teeth. This is recommended if the teeth are severely crowded and/ or protruded. Extraction therapy is in contrast to non-extraction therapy where all of the teeth can be made to fit correctly in the mouth.
