I have to get 4 teeth pulled; 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom.
The ones on the top are right next to my 'vampire teeth'.
The 2 on the bottom is the tooth after the tooth right next to the bottom vampires.
will it be really hard to get my teeth out?
what if my teeth wont stop bleeding really heavily?
could i die from getting these pulled? can they break my jaw? is there a chance my nerves will get damaged and then my face will be droopy?
yeah i have braces and my teeth are real crowded and they wont move unless they take teeth out.

There are always "risks" with any medical procedure but the actual chances are VERY low. The risks you mention really don't come into play. Your mouth will bleed while the procedure is going on, but probably won't afterwards. Try calling and talking to your dentist or go in for a special appointment if you're really as scared as you sound. It will probably help calm you and alleviate your fears.
I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted on a Friday afternoon and went to prom the next day without looking like a freak :) I even had a friend who had teeth pulled and met her future husband later than night. So, while there will be some swelling, it shouldn't be anything major. Your dentist will tell you how to take care of the areas where your teeth were so you don't have any problems.

I've been there.It's not so bad. I had my 4 wisdom out all in one sitting.
There are some swelling a couple of days and bleeding is not a problem.
If there is swelling, put ice packs your face.

it seems that you're pretty freaked out about this
it's not that crazy, you won't bleed, you won't ruin
your jawline and you won't die because of that
usually it's pretty painless just make sure that
the dentist have the equivalent to morphine
to make sure you won't feel a thing during
the procedure

YOUR HAVING BRACES AND NEED TO HAVE YOUR FIRST BICUSPIDS EXTRACTED.
THIS IS VERY COMMON AND YOUR CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS, ALTHOUGH INTERESTING FOR YOU, DO NOT CAUSE ANY DANGER.
BECAUSE OF YOUR FEARS I SUGGEST SEDATION TO MAKE YOU MORE COMFORTABLE.
