    Hi Chad! Jumping in on this thread. I am still confused on this based on what Alyssa mentioned above. I understand the treatment plan assumes extractions but why would we want to retract and retrocline incisors when they are ideal right now based on ceph numbers provided. Wouldn’t we want to try to maintain the current inclination and position? If the question states treatment objectives and we are extracting shouldn’t we want to attempt to maintain, although I understand we may likely get some retraction/retroclination. I am a bit confused on the wording of this type of question. Thank you for the clarification!
