Thanks to recommendations here, I got Invisalign fitted yesterday. When I went to my usual dentist, who is supposed to be a Platinum Invisalign practitioner, or something, he said "nah, no chance." But he did refer me to The Brace orthodontists up by Liverpool St. They instead said, "ah, right, this will be tricky" but were happy to take my money. Turns out the front eight teeth top and bottom do not meet and I have a cross bite on all of my molars. They also insisted I get three wisdom teeth pulled from my skull and jaw. I already lost a molar on one side so there is space enough to avoid pulling the fourth wisdom tooth.
Back to my original dentist as he used to work at St. George's pulling wisdom teeth. Still had to pay privately, which stung about as much as the mega violence it took to remove three healthy wisdom teeth. The top two had "impressive roots" and that they had four roots each instead of the usual two or three. The bottom left one broke some of the inner surface of jaw bone which is now poking out through my gum but he has since clipped some of that away, hoping the rest resolves itself otherwise I need to go to the hospital so they can use something called a "bone nibbler" to remove the rest.
Anyway, I now have the aligners that I have to change every four days for the next two years. Plus some annoying metal studs that take rubber bands that need to be changed every day. Hoping being able to bite all the way through a slice of pizza is going to be worth it.
