At your age the only way to gain space to align your teeth would be to remove four premolars as you have mentioned.

Hi,Please go ahead with braces treatment if your dr has suggested as there are no side effects of treatment & will improve cosmetic appearance & there is no problem if you remove 4 teeth if required for the treatment.
