The only thing no one has mentioned is why your dentist wants to pull your teeth if the first place. I am a dentist and would get a second opinion from an orthodontist. Assuming you are young, pulling your 4 premolars to make room is a bad idea and will most likely flatten your profile. Your wisdom teeth can go...makes movement easier for ortho but I would not reccomend the extractions of your premolars...Please go get a second opinion from a young orthodontist. The technique you are having done is old and used only in adults and very extreme cases these days
Good Luck

You can move the 2nd and third molars back to gain space and widen the arch. to remove the premolars they will make your arch even narrower and flatten your profile. Orthodontists were trained this way in the past but there are always newer techniques Report It
Other Replys:Its no big deal I had 6 teeth pulled right before braces. they numb you its not bad at all. The braces on the other hand hurt but they will be worth it when you get your pretty smile ;)
