You need a really good orthodontist (they vary a LOT). You need recommendations local to where ypu live. Try asking local fb group.

One thing to look for is an orthodontist who offers lots of different types of braces. If they’ve only learned to fot one or two types, they probably aren’t very good.

Invisible braces might suit you but they don’t work on everybody. They are good at straightening wonky teeth but can’t do much with overcrowding for example.

As above you should find a good orthodontist. Also it often isn’t recommended only to treat the top set as it can cause issues such as an off set bite etc.
Invisalign etc is t always the most effective or fastest treatment and avoid companies where you don’t have regular visits to be seen and checked by an orthodontist. I wouldn’t go anywhere near a company that uses a model like Smile direct.

Oh and good quality dental work does cost a lot. I had braces fitted this year (fixed ones not Invisalign) and this will cost around £4000

I asked my dentist about this and was told its a waste of time - I would need more teeth removed to achieve anything because of overcrowding.
