No. If you're thinking of invisalign, they are made specifically to fit your teeth. Its not a one size fits all type of thing.
Call around to some local orthodontists for a free consultation. Consultations are usually free and you can have all of your questions answered as well as get an idea about what your treatment options are. Invisalign is not an option for everyone. It wasn't for me.

No. There is no such thing as braces you can just buy at the store and put on yourself.

You have to see an orthodontist--they are dentists that specialize in straightening teeth. They have to do xrays and examine your mouth to determine what type of braces you need, if you need spacers first and for how long and/or if you need to have any teeth pulled to make room for your teeth to spread out.
There is no other way to get braces.

You can only get braces from an orthodontist. They have the expensive equipment that makes visits to the dentist so much fun.

Unless you get them in a dark alleyway. But that's a bad idea.

Remember that ceramic braces are more expensive.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. YOU CAN'T GET BRACES JUST BY GOING TO ANY STORE AND BUYING THEM OFF THE SHELF, THIS IS NOT A SPECIAL SALE @ WALMART.
FYI YOU CAN'T GET BRACES OF ANY TYPE OR VARIETY BY NOT GOING TO A DENTIST WITH APPROPRIATE TRAINING OR AN ORTHODONTIST.

I doubt it. I believe they are still similar to regular braces. You will have to have a mold of your mouth made, so they will fit perfect, and you probably have to them adjusted as your teeth move.

No, and it's Orthodontist.
