I am really skeptical when it comes to extractions, they only solve half of the problem and at the same time they make it even more difficult to solve the other half. The reason your teeth are crowded is not that you have more teeth that you should be having, is that you have less space than you should, the solution should be to get more space and not to remove teeth so that they fit better in the narrower space. Orthodontist offer as a solution teeth extraction because it is easier, more predictable and that's what most of them have been taught to do. Sometimes expansion is very more complicate, because if you have a good bite and expand the upper teeth then the lower teeth will stay behind, If you sent couple photos of your smile and upper and lower arch I could give you a more tailored answer to your problem.

Also I recommencement you is doing a cephalometric analysis and ask the opinion of other orthos too. If you get a ceph x ray, I can do the cephalometric analysis for you for free, it really doesn't take that much time. This will assess if your jaws are recessed, if you need expansion most of the time you will need advancement too. And based on how much expansion and how much advancement (I you need that) the approach changes.
