Bicuspid Extractions: Traditionally, smaller mouths had bicuspid removal years ago. The technology today focuses on palatal and mandibular expansion to help create room to retain these teeth.

Ask yr orthodontist: The orthodontic extractions are recommended, typically is because of either an overbite or severe crowding is present. Ask your orthodontist if expansion or temporary anchors are right for you. Good luck.

Prosthodontist: See a Prosthodontist - specialist in reconstruction - first for evaluation and options. They will refer you as needed to achieve your goal. Typically if you are missing teeth in a selected area, especially if there are teeth on both sides, implants are the treatment of choice. Good Luck.

Doctor, I just want to research about is there any effect from the extraction of premolar that can cause TMD?And I need reference from books,any help?

Premolar: The extraction of a premolar should not cause any TMJ issues... you most probably developed the problem due to other causes. An examination by a local dentist with knowledge regarding TMJ causes and treatment will shed some light on how to treat your condition. All the best...
