At the grand old age of 40 I've decided to get my teeth sorted. Issues are crooked bottom teeth, and sticky out top teeth (thumb sucker when young)
Not sure what to go for, so would really appreciate hearing different experiences.
Ideally, I'd like:
Something that works quickly
Something not hugely obvious (although not necessarily invisalign level of invisibility)
Something not hideously expensive!
Any tips would be great to hear!
Thanks,
Ags.

You need to see an orthodontist who will be able to assess your teeth and advise you on your options.

How about cfast? You can arrange a free consultation to see if it would be suitable for you.

Get booked in for initial appointments at a few different places! I'm a similar age and about to get my lower jaw sorted, the only type suitable are the train track ones. Luckily my top ones are fine.

I have started with train tracks top and bottom.5700 quid will take 2 years. Mine are terrible though

Fast is not always best, I would see a proper orthodontist

You want ceramic fixed braces. These work the same as metal braces but blend better with the teeth. Invisalign takes forever and is a faff with the attachments falling off, staining of the attachments etc. Fixed is faster, more controllable and quite often cheaper.

Great. Thank you! Will definitely make an appointment and talk through the options.
Thanks again.
