Hi 
, I had 3 wisdom teeth out (the 4th one never showed up) while in braces the first time. I'm about to start ortho treatment a 2nd time. My wife also had a couple of extractions while in braces during her treatment. I guess it's not that uncommon. I think each orthodontist handles things differently. Good Luck!

I got my four bicuspids removed my second month in braces. My ortho said he wanted to get things loosened up before pulling my teeth.

I was braced in September, 2007 and had my 2 upper premolars extracted in July, 2008. My ortho gave me this option so that I could go for the shortest possible time with gaps. He said that I could have them extracted before I got the braces but that he wouldn't start closing the gaps right away so I opted to wait and have them extracted in the middle of treatment and only had extraction gaps for a few months.
