Hi, I had a combination of crooked and baby teeth. I have had my braces for nearly a year now and this has straightened my teeth and improved my bite. I then hope to get bonding or veneers on some of my teeth as I have ended up with canines next to my front teeth which look pointier than they would if they were normal.
I would suggest braces and then the cosmetics afterwards.
It isn't easy to have the extractions and braces and it does look a bit awful for a while but my opinion was that I hated my teeth anyway and they weren't going to get any better without just going for it.
Time really does fly as well. Although 2 years sounds like a very long time, it will go quickly.

Interesting, your story is inspiring.
What happens when they extract, they take the teeth out, and just replace them with spacers? than what they just wait till they align or do you need implants? i hate my baby teeth/ not fully grown
