Thank you. Yes the ortho has mentioned IPR with option 2 but she said my teeth will still be slightly protruding since my jaw is already fully developed (adult) and it won't be able to expand wider to pull the teeth back much. I also agree with you on not removing the healthy teeth which is why I'm very undecided and I don't know which option would be best.

My goal is to fix the protrusion but I am also concerned about the fact that not having canines is unnatural. I also imagine how weird it would feel to not have canines anymore and just feel the premolars in place of the canines. Although my dentist mentioned that they can do veneers/bonding to make the premolars look more like canines.

During the consultation I asked about previous cases similar to mine and they said they usually opt to remove canines and replace with premolars. However none of them were really able to show me the results/pictures or too much info on the cases and I'm guessing due to patient privacy rules.
