Advantages of 2nd molar
There are many advantages of 2nd molar extractions vs. removal of 4 1st premolars NOW and then 4 wisdom teeth (molars) later...
End up with 28 teeth instead of 24 teeth
Don't have to remove 4 wisdom teeth later
The integrity of the arch is not broken as it happens when premolars (in the middle of the mouth) are extracted
FULL smile as it the teeth are extracted way in the back instead of on the side
Pleasing face
FASTER treatment in many cases
More stable results (no spaces to HOLD closed as in premolar extractions case)
No tipping of teeth (nice angulation: looks very natural instead of the "braces look")
The tongue has more natural space and is not constricted
Less root damage as treatment time can be less and each tooth has to move less
