Getting teeth removed for braces?

[Anonymous]

okay so basically I went to the orthodontist for X-rays, impressions etc. I have moderate to extreme overcrowding. He told me I might need to get four teeth removed. Two top, two bottom (premolars I think, the ones just behind the pointy vampire ones hahaha) anyway I don't really want to remove four perfectly good teeth. I know the gaps will be filled but I feel like my smile won't be as big and he also said that my nose Could look bigger because my teeth will move back bringing my lip with it which will make my nose look like it sticks out more. I actually like my nose so I really don't want this to happen. He said I don't have to get my teeth pulled though. If I don't my teeth could flare out a bit. I really don't know what to do. Any ideas? Thanks!

Get them pulled, i had 4 pulled. It doesn't make your smile smaller or your nose look different. I get compliments all the time on my smile. It might look funny if you dont have them pulled because your teeth will be pushed out and give a horse like appearance when you smile and stuff

My mom has been saving for ages for my braces and I really appreciate what she is doing for me however my question was wondering what's the best way to go in order to get the best result considering the cost is so high
