Should I Remove my Top Canine Teeth for Braces?

Headline is incorrect....we very seldom extract canines....premolars are much better in general

Done correctly, extractions should not have an adverse effect on your profile and often times extractions are the best way to get a good result.  Remember....I said "done correctly" which means a proper diagnosis by a well trained and experience doctor (in my mind of course this means an orthodontist).  Never hurts to get second opinions

The amount that the upper front teeth can be moved back is determined by the position of the LOWER front teeth. Think about it. If you move the upper front teeth back to fix an overbite, you can only move them back until they rest against the fronts of the lower teeth. It doesn't matter have you get them there whether by using headgear, rubber bands, or removing two upper bicuspids. Profile and lip position are determined by the lower front teeth, not the uppers! Your orthodontist is right.
