“…Among the several decisions, the professional should determine if the success of intervention requires dental extractions. 2 , 10 , 13 , 15 The extractions with orthodontic purpose, for correction of tooth crowding or intermaxillary discrepancies, have been controversial since the concepts of normal occlusion were initially enhanced, in the early 20 th century. 3 , 11 , 16 , 17 , 27 - 29 Any tooth may be extracted, depending on each case, to provide more satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes.…”

The esthetic benefits are among the main goals of orthodontic treatment; therefore, tooth extractions have been avoided as a protocol for orthodontic treatment because they may impair the facial profile. The present article discusses aspects as the magnitude and response of soft tissue profile due to changes in incisor positioning, and the effect of different sequences of premolar extraction. One case report illustrates the subject, with favorable and stable esthetic and occlusal outcomes five years after orthodontic treatment with extraction of second premolars.
