My orthodontist want me to have the baby teeth pulled will the metal brace close the spaces

Q. I am 28 yrs old and have decided to get the metal braces to straigten my teeth. I have a very small mouth so I have a lot of crowded teeth and I have a tooth pushed back so I have a space in my top teeth. I also have two baby teeth on the bottom. My orhtodontist wants me to have the two baby teeth pulled as well as two teeth on the top. My concern is will the metal braces pull those new spaces together, I do not want to create more spaces in teeth. thanks

A. You ned to discuss this matter with your orthodontist because they are best placed to know how the end result will turn out
