First n foremost thing ,extracting teeth will not going to change ur face drastically as you have mentioned that you have severe crowding,but ur smile will going to improved in positive way and your jaw will not become weak. So don't worry about all that.

If you can't afford Damon it's better to go for removal of 4 teeth
