I would love to keep my teeth!

Hello!
I've had crooked and crowded teeth all my life and it's become something I've had to just try to get used to. I try not to let it bother me, and I've been told I have a beautiful smile, but the fact that my teeth aren't straight bothers me more than I like to admit. Every dentist (and hygienist!) I've ever seen has told me I need braces. When I was young, it just wasn't an option for my family. Now, life happens and it still isn't an option. My biggest problem is brushing and flossing well enough to keep cavities and other issues at bay. I do the best I can, but it never seems to be good enough so I've had to have several of my back teeth pulled. I would love to get braces some day, so my teeth don't get worse and I can keep the teeth I've got left.
Thanks for the opportunity!
