I am 50 years old and still have 27 teeth and they all are in excellent condition.

Four wisdom teeth was extracted in my early years, one of my lower central incisor extract June 2006 for orthodontic treatment.   However, the treatment fail due to not enough room to adjust the upper bite to be in line with the lower bite.

In order to fix the bite problem, another orthodontics proposed a treatment plan that require two upper 1st bicuspid and one lower central incisor extraction.(this lower central incisor has been shaky and a bit sore since off the braces) I have read that any tooth removal will cost the tooth next to it shift and weaken.

I would like to have straight teeth.   But in the condition of all my teeth remain health. Can you please advice three teeth extraction    is ok to my oral health.
