Should I pull 4 teeth or shave a lot of teeth? (Photos)

Asked By:headless999 in Seattle, WA

Braces or invisalign? I went to two orthodontists recently, and I was told that I could remove 1 premolar on my right bottom teeth by one orthodontist. Second orthodontist told me I need to remove 4 teeth (2 bottom 2 top) or shave 10+ teeth in order to make space to fix the crossbite... (my bottom jaw was told to be protruding a lil). I would really appreciate some advice.
