Abstract
The purpose of this article is to assess whether extraction or nonextraction treatment has an impact on facial attractiveness. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of using scientific diagnostic criteria in deciding on whether to treat the patient with or without the extraction of teeth. The question is posed as to whether the decision to treat with or without the extraction of teeth should be based on diagnostic records and a treatment plan based on science or whether one can just categorically treat patients without the extraction of teeth.
