The dentist says that there is not room for the teeth so his solution is to remove 6 permanent teeth (which has not come in) and two child teeth - so there will be more space for the other teeth.

Is this a normal procedure?

It just because I think it sounds complicated - and maybe there may be other solutions.

Kind Regards Dennis

Could you provide x-rays? Any option of extracting teeth to make room should be carefully considered by orthodontist. The child facial and bony profile is still developing and any extraction of permanent teeth can impact that development.
