What are the steps of serial extractions?

Serial extractions involve a systematic process of removing teeth to create space for orthodontic correction. The steps typically include evaluating the patient's dental and skeletal relationships, selecting the specific teeth to extract (usually premolars), performing the extractions in a planned sequence, and then allowing the orthodontic treatment to progress, often with the use of braces or aligners to align the remaining teeth properly. Post-extraction, regular monitoring and adjustments are made to ensure optimal alignment and occlusion.
