Does anyone know if invaslign would help these teeth, it’s the fangs that are really bothering me, how would a brace make them sit lower or am I a lost cause
it would have to be private as my NHS dentist said there not bad enough for NHS treatment

Invisalign are great but do have their (albeit few these days) limitations. I’m no expert, just the parent of a patient but I’m not sure if they’d be able to move your canines downwards. Traditional braces may be the better option but really you’d need to discuss things with a good orthodontist and see what they suggest

Unless there are particular (rare) problems with how these teeth are anchored in it is perfectly feasible (without looking at x rays which may change things) to move these teeth down but it would need to be with fixed braces (train tracks) and chains or elastics to bring the teeth down after making space for them. It is likely to take some time as it looks as if there are other issues with your bite that needs sorting before the canines can be moved into place.

You need to see an orthodontist, it will be private , and you will pay in region of £150 for assesment , models and X rays. That doesn't mean you have to commit to treatment which will be £2500 upwards depending on complexity and where in the country you are.

Ask your dentist who they refer to.
