Ortho tips:

A general guideline for extraction in treatment planning in Orthodontics.

As we have discussed earlier, a single parameter cannot decide whether the case is extraction or not. But to get a general idea, we can innumerate few points for decision making.

Facial esthetics and severity of crowding decide if extraction is needed or not.
For eg, if nasolabial angle if straight or obtuse, extraction will only worsen the profile .
Same for other facial parameter.
Like, extraction are not suitable for cases having straight or concave profile.
Incompetent lips are favourable for extraction.
If lips are inside rickets esthetic line, then extraction should not be considered.

Having said this, again I want to repeat , a combination of all these factors helps to decide , what is best for the patient .
