In case of crooked teeth, is there a possibility to align teeth by extraction of only 1 premolar teeth? I heard that all 4 premolar teeth should be removed in order to provide space & teeth to adjust. If the gap between upper & lower arch is less, can extraction one or two premolar teeth will be enough?

depending on space requirement, it is decided which teeth to extract. and to maintain symmetry and balance two or four teeth are extracted if needed. yes orthodontic treatment can be done by extraction of two premolars also
