I have teeth that slant inward, what are my options? (Photo)

Question

I have teeth that slant inward. It may be from teeth shifting after a full mouth bite adjustment. I now bite cheeks at night, nip-pinch tongue edges. My already crooked teeth seem more crowded and closer. A prostodontist thought braces that can possibly even extrude teeth a bit for more height? Another said go with Invisalin? Another thought crowns? I'm trying to keep things simple. I am 70 and not rich. Your thoughts are appreciated. Need to get out of pain so I don't poke, bite soft tissues.

I usually do Epigenetic Orthopedics/ orthodontics on younger patients but you look like a perfect candidate.  It is not inexpensive but should solve your issues .  The DNA Appliance grows both the bone and the upper airway thru a process called Pneumopedics.The process will create more room for your tongue, eliminate crowding and widen your smile and give better support to soft tissues of your face.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMO
