Candidate question-
I don't have many problems with my teeth they just have gaps, tilted a bit and back two teeth on both sides at the bottom don't align.
Here are the pics-

Also how do I ask my mum and dad to ask the dentist?
I am really shy and I hardly talk to them, help!
How do I ask her?
We haven't been to the dentist yet because I am waiting to ask her 4 days before so she can ask the dentist-
How can I?
(I'm 10 btw)

Plan to get Invisalign-
1. Wait until we are 4 days away from a dentist visit.
2. Complain that I have so many gaps in my teeth and some aren't even straight.
3. Ask if she can ask the dentist if there is anything he can do to my teeth so that they are straight.
4. Do some research.
5. Come across Invisalign braces.
7. Ask if she can ask him about Invisalign.
8. Tell her the benefits.
9. Remind on the car ride or in the dentists.
This is a plan to tell my mum, will it work?

No, how about being honest, if you start by being dishonest nothing good can come.
You tell her it has been bothering you and tell her you have been looking into this.
Then your dentist can give her pricing on those and other brace options. Remember that you could end up with regular braces also, since it may be a matter of price, it may be an issue of what will fix your problems.

Then how could I ask or even beg my mum to get me invisalign- wouldn't the nhs cover it since I'm 10?

This is still a question for your dentist.
Your mother has ZERO say on your treatment.
Yes, it would be most likely be covered by the NHS, but that depends on your own dentist.
See that's why you need to talk to THEM about it..
They may not consider it until more of your permanent teeth have come in.

Your molars don't come out right, so therefore I have all my permanent teeth
