You should go for the treatment. Removal of 4 teeth is very common in most orthodontic/braces treatment. This is done in order to create sufficient space for proper alignment of all the remaining teeth. In case the teeth are not removed, then the correction you are expecting might not be achieved. Rest assured, there is no loss in chewing ability or any other bad effect to your body. You can go for a second opinion from an orthodontist if in case your previous dentist wasn't a specialist.
