18 y/o. Should i get 4 premolars removed for braces?

moemarie
I recently just got my braces put on, and my ortho requested i have 4 premolars removed. I was okay with it at first, but now I have been researching it and people are saying it will make your face change.I’m 18 and i Love my smile i just want straight teeth. My jaw line is strong, I’m afraid the extractions will change my face completely. I have an overjet and my 2 front teeth overlap. I have braces already and I’m afraid i can’t change my treatment. What should i do? I’m scared!
