Concerns about tooth extraction

Hello doctor, I am 20 years old and had braces placed a week ago. My orthodontist has recommended extracting four teeth to create space. I am worried about whether these extractions could have any side effects, or if they might change my face shape or affect my facial appearance. Is it even necessary to extract these teeth, or are there alternatives? Could you please explain if such extractions influence facial structure or looks, and what precautions I should take?
