Do I really need to have healthy teeth removed for orthodontic work?

Q.
hello doctor
i got braces two months ago …i had two missing incisors (congenitally) so my ortho. decided to fill the gaps with my canines then reshape them as incisors … now i will get braces for my lower jaw . my lover teeth are totally fine and straight but the ortho decided that i should extract two lower teeth just because i have two missing teeth in the upper jaw and not to make space for moving the lower teeth !!! i am really scared because i don’t like to extract those perfectly fine teeth while people are paying hundreds of dollars on teeth implants … and i hears also that my face will never look the same once those teeth are removed !!!! my question is that should i need to extract those two teeth ? or there is another option? please help!

You really do need to go back to your orthodontist….they will explain to you exactly why they are advising extractions and it is your right to feel reassured before you go ahead with treatment.
