Based on the photo you have provided I would not recommend having 4 teeth extracted.I would seek care from an orthodontist who would not recommend any teeth extracted.

I suggest you get another opinion from another orthodontist. You should have regular orthodontics WITHOUT any extractions. If you extract the 4 bicuspids, your arch will be much too narrow, resulting in future TMJ, Sleep Apnea, Breathing and Snoring problems. Invisalign would bnot be adequate in your case. Keep searching till you find an orthodontist who does not believe in extracting the bicuspids.
