Ask the Orthodontist: Ask the orthodontist to show you on the x-ray which teeth need to be extracted and why the teeth need to be extracted.

Your orthodontist: Should have provided both an explanation as to the rationale of their removal and also which teeth are to be removed. The oral surgeon that you will be referred to to remove the indicated teeth can also provide you with this information. The wisdom teeth are teeth that orthodontists almost always want removed due to their negative influence on tooth movement. Premolar teeth re also common to go.
