Hello everyone, i hate my teeth and as you will see they are in quite a state, im interested in getting invisble braces and was wondering if anyone can tell me from looking at these photos if i would be suitable for them? Also if anyone knows any cheap orthodotics in southern england please let me know! many thanks!

Why ask us?

Best to ask the experts: a professional dentist who has experience and knowledge of Invisalign. This is certainly not a decision you want to take up with a bunch of strangers!

Hi Hazza and welcome. You've taken the first step towards a smile you like better just by coming here and asking questions. There are people here who can advise you about whether you are a candidate for invisalign, but I would certainly recommend you have a consultation with a couple of qualified orthodontists (not dentists). It's intimidating, I know, but it's worth it. Good luck!

Hi!
I am getting invisalign uppers and clear braces on my lowers in January, I am in the UK (London) as well. I recommend going to an Orthodontist that offers Invisalign and other modern treatments like Lingual braces or Ice braces, there are many in London!

I also went to some dentists that do invisalign but they tried to sell Invisalign and I didn't have much confidence they could deal with my more complicated case even though they sounded like it would be very easy.. so instead I will start treatment at an orthodontic clinic. Its a bit more expensive than the other places (will pay £4000 in total, the other places quoted about £3500) but there are 0 interest credit options available, so I can manage!
I am sure there are some "invisible" or very descret options, even if Invisalign would not work for you.
good luck and yes do it!

As was said on your thread on another Invisalign forum... Unfortunately I doubt anyone can/will suggest whether you would be a candidate or not just by photos alone, you would need to be seen in person by an orthodontist.
