Removing teeth before getting braces

Hi,

my girlfriend, age 28, recently saw an orthodontist for a consultation
on whether or not to get braces.  I was present, and we both trusted
this man and appreciated the amount of time he spent explaining
things to us.  Everyone agreed that she has a malocclusion and that
braces would probably correct the problem.

What bothered us was that the orthodontist wanted to remove three
healthy teeth to begin the orthodontic program.  I understand the
concept of sacrificing a few teeth for the good of the whole mouth,
but is it normal to do this?

Thanks for your help.
