Teeth extraction

Question

Teeth extraction

Asked for Female, 38 Years

Good evening Dr, Recently the orthodontist advised my 12 year old to get braces, but suggested to remove 4 teeth, 2 upper and 2 lower pre molar, to make space.. other option was to shave teeth a little and put braces... I am worried about removing the 4 healthy teeth, and how it may or may not affect in future... will it affect health or looks change drastically, I mean the jaws moving so much, will the tongue get affected? Also 2 teeth will be removed on Friday and next 2 on Saturday the next day, is that OK to remove 4 teeth so close.. Please guide 🙏
