Should I get braces?

Hello, I'm an early 20s female. My dentist told me I don't need braces because my teeth grew out "fine", but I don't trust her because she's why my cavities went untreated (told me my cavities were stains and refused to look closer).

I finally got fillings on almost every tooth after I switched dentists, which makes me wonder if braces would be a waste of money. I want to get it because my smile is crooked and I never felt confident smiling in pictures. I believe my premolars are misaligned and sometimes food get stuck in spots I can't reach.

I also currently have 2 impacted wisdom teeth, it's been 3 years since I found out. They're completely hidden under my gums and don't hurt at all.

Also the fillings are small and no root canals.

If you have any advice/similar experiences, please let me know! Thanks!

TLDR: Small mouth, big crooked teeth, fillings everywhere, 2 impacted wisdom teeth
