The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the timing of tooth extractions (before or after initial orthodontic treatment) affects pain levels in patients who need bilateral extractions of first premolars in the upper jaw. The participants in this study are patients who require these extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does extracting teeth before starting orthodontic treatment result in different pain levels compared to extracting teeth after alignment? 2. How do pain levels change over time after the extractions in each group? Researchers will compare Group A (patients who have extractions before orthodontic treatment) to Group B (patients who have extractions after initial alignment) to see if the timing of the extractions affects pain levels. Participants will: Undergo tooth extractions either before or after initial alignment based on their group. Rate their pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale at various times (2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after extraction, and then daily for a week).
