I've only ever gone to the dentist 3 times in my whole life. is it possible for me to go to the dentist and get braces and such?

Sure: It's possible for you to go. First you will need to be evaluated and have any dental problems addressed. Cavities and gum problems all need to be remedied before orthodontics. After that, you can discuss straightening your teeth.
