The suggestion given to you is perfectly right, if you don't go for braces the problems that may arise are:
1. Tartar deposits as there is no access to proper cleaning of your teeth.
2. Less aesthetic smile
3.Cheek bites due to improper occlusion
4.Early wear and tear of tooth surface
5.discoloration of teeth due to improper cleaning
6. Temporomandibular joint Disorder (which may lead to Jaw pain,Ear pain,Pain during opening and closing mouth, clicking sound during opening and closing mouth)
7. Early decay of teeth
8. Bruxism due to improper occlusion (grinding of teeth in sleep)
Next Steps
You must definitely go ahead for orthodontic treatment as it is a permanent treatment.
Health Tips
Do not try any home procedures, please visit a certified orthodontist for a proper orthodontic treatment.

Dear Sir
Your question is crisp and clear
1. What would be the consequences of not getting it addressed. I believe you are somewhere in your twenties, and by basic calculation you need to keep these teeth for another 45-50 years. Now the issue is that they are not arranged properly which lead to various functional challenges in long term such as increased incedence of cavity ( which is visible in your case ), increase chances of dirt deposits and long term challenges such as increased sensitivity of teeth, early shedding of teeth as well as Facial joint (TMJ) issue; so in your best interest it is better to get it addressed as per your comfort.
2. Correction of such mal arranged teeth can be done using traditional braces, newer and advanced braces called as DAMON system or lastly Aligners method ( not the home based obviously)
Next Steps
Visit for a detailed check up, proper treatment planning and in depth discussion

There is no other non invasive way of correcting the teeth alignment.
You have malaligned teeth and there is crowding.
You need to do orthodontic treatment from a proper orthodontist.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination and x rays.
Health Tips
Do not fall prey to home aligners.

Hello,
Looking at the pics, i would recommend that you consider getting Braces or invisible aligners to straighten the teeth out.
Aligned teeth are easier to clean, look better and most of all function better.
Aligned teeth also have lesser chances of cavity formation in the future.
Other than braces, another option would be a smile designing, which can be completed in about two weeks, but considering your age, i would say that would be unnecessarily invasive.
Also get your silver fillings assessed by your dentist along with x-rays.
Good luck.
