I'm 22 and my upper teeth are completely wrecked and jagged. I never received dental care growing up and my hygiene is poor. So poor that I have cavities on 4-6 upper teeth on the sides(both sides of each) due to not flossing I think. It doesn't hurt or anything yet.
I'm looking to get treatment now because I commute to school by train, and I heard people complain about me snoring for the first time. I didn't know I snored, but apparently snoring, and my inability to speak properly are caused by my huge overbite. It's gotten so bad that my face/mouth are warped due to how the teeth are protruding. I have a permanent "frown" due to the front teeth poking forward moving my lips into an asymmetric shape. I figured I should get this all taken care of before I get any older.
How long is the process to correct cavities? Can I get an appointment and get this done in less than a week/month? Does it hurt? I know braces and overbite correction would take years to get done.
Correcting cavities is called either getting fillings, or having to have those teeth pulled out, depending on how bad it is. How long it takes depends on what you need to have done.

They suck. And will be expensive. But do them before they become root canals, which are 4x as bad
