What are the alternatives to removing pre-molars? (Photos)

TahjSH
Hi! I went in for an orthodontic consult yesterday. I have an overjet and I was told I could have moderate success with Invisalign/ Angel Aligners or Braces, but that the most sucessful result would come from removing 4 pre-molars. My mother had this treatment done when she was a child but I am pretty opposed. I know its common but it feels invasive. Based on my photos, do you feel there could be any alternative options? or should I just settle for the moderate correction?
