Dental braces

I am planning to get braces. When visited the dentist, he told i will have to remove 2 teeth for the process. Not only am scared, but also i hear it is not so good to remove teeth as face becomes flat and lips become thin. So is there an alternative or can this be done without pulling teeth?

Extraction is case dependent, Sometimes teeth are out too much then extraction is the only option If your teeth are very mildly forward , then IPR ( proximal stripping is an option) However this is hard to tell as we need to look at ur case in total
