I’d have to say,
The orthodontist would be a reassuring lady that manages to hide a bunch of fine print into the contract.  I walk in thinking I’m getting just plain brackets.  But, she puts in upper and lower expanders (the ones with acrylic), TWO tongue cribs (so I can’t bypass when my mouth is open), big metal brackets with lots of loops and springs, a Herbst appliance, and lip bumpers.  There would be an insanely long treatment time of 10 years.  Of course, none of this would be removable.

If we're talking dream scenarios, I say throw caution to the wind and get creative!  ;D

Start out with old style full metal bands on EVERY tooth. Much less comfortable, much more noticeable. Because of these metal bands, a lot more time will have to be devoted to just keeping your braces clean, so they're also more impractical. Next, each and every bracket has an elastic hook on it, so it's sure to irritate your cheeks and lips, making them puff out and exposing your shiny metal mouth for the world to see! Of course, the archwire has to be as weak as can be. This way, your treatment time is as long as possible, leaving plenty of time for you to enjoy a full assortment of appliances!
First, your expanders in both jaws, turned once every two weeks, to really drag out the time it'll take to widen those arches so they stay in as long as possible, all the while getting food stuck in them making cleaning even more of a nightmare!
 Along with these are a lovely set of tongue spurs on each arch, made wide enough to clang into each other, making fully closing your mouth impossible unless you want your tongue to get shredded.
Now that you're rocking a painfully obvious lisp, let's saddle you up with a special kind of double headgear, a facebow for each jaw! Topped off with a nice set of Neon Green and Hot Pink headgear straps, just so there's no chance of hiding it.
With an ungodly mess of florescent colored elastics in 24/7, finally we wrap up with a bulky set of Neon Green Lip Bumpers for each jaw, just to make sure there isn't any chance of hiding that beautiful work of metallic art! You might as well smile, cause with your treatment time, you'll have all of this in for a solid 10 years! Lucky you  ;D
10 years ain't enough? Well don't worry, by the time you reach that milestone you'll be so used to your metal mouth, you wont want to have any of it taken out! But don't worry, we'll wrap it up with a set of permanent retainers, cemented into you mouth and connected by a set of piston arms on each side just to keep things interesting for you. Can't have a mouth that's too easy to clean! Enjoy  ;)

I would definitely want something simple like plain metal brackets but with some "extras" along the way like cervical HG and possibly an expander.

If I had to add anything to a dream treatment it would be a top and bottom headgear so I have a facebow in the bottom jaw.

If you are looking for 'fun' braces, you could look at the braces shop (I have yet to place an order but heard good things). Alternatively you could go in for a consultation and see if there's any room for improvement  ;D

Heres my general preferences:

I'd want braces, just regular ones to start out with, but as time goes on, more and more appliances get added. Expanders, cemented twin blocks, a herbst, tongue crib, bite plate and/or a face bow(s). My personal favourite is definitely a cemented twin block, but problems arise as things like bite plates dont work with them.

So either I'd go for overall:
Braces that have Double expanders with cemented twin blocks, a tongue crib, forsus/herbst and headgear

OR

Braces with double expanders, a bite plate, headgear and a herbst

As for removable appliances, definitely a van beek is up there.

Actually, just found out about an EVAA appliance, which is a fixed activator. That's definitely something I'd want.

I'd love this treatment both on myself & on someone else. First of all the treatment would have to begin after high school and not in middle school when I had mine (which was much simpler than this); I'd get top and bottom expanders to twist every day for a month + top brackets (whether normal or self-ligating, idc, I really like both as long as they're metal). The top expander is the type that has four molar bands and a metal wire that runs behind my upper teeth, bulky enough to leave a slight lisp even after I've gotten used to it, reinforced by the bottom expander too. After a couple of months the bottom braces would go in. I'd use blue powerchains to close the gaps the expanders left, as I start wearing a combination headgear with blue straps for 12-14hrs a day for the next year. Then would begin two years of elastic wear in various combinations, which would require hooks to be placed here and there on my wires, always covered by a blue powerchain as I like it. The two bulky expanders would stay in place until the last day bc the dentist fears the elastics could destabilize my mouth or sth, so the appliances must stay in. This would be a dream lmao, I'd literally download dating apps and upload pics of myself smiling just to attract braces lovers & surprise them with all the hardware (;

(In reality I had a slight underbite which they quickly fixed with regular class III elastics, so for this story to be realistic I'd have to get a facemask, which I don't disdain at all either, I just prefer the other headgears.)

When I had twin blocks I found them pretty cool and loved every minute of wearing them. I’d really want to try a fraenkel appliance and a van beek activator, maybe others as well. I also like the thought of a lot of fixed metal appliances from tongue cribs to molar bands. I’d also love to try headgear as well, although unfortunately I think all of this is just out of reach for me

My Dream Treatment had to start slowly with a Twin Block + Headgear with Neck- and Head-Straps
Starting for the first two weeks with 8 hours at night, the next two weeks with 12 hours, the next two weeks with16 hours and after that with23 hours for 1 1/2 years

After this I would become a Palatal Expander for upper and lower jaw for 3 months,
after this time I would get herbst together with the expanders,
after this time I would get a facemask together with the expanders for at least 2 years.

Followed by metal braces for 5 years with a lot of combinations of elastics and powerchain, together with a Interlandi headgear for the whole time

After the braces are removed, I have to wear a hawley retainer for the first year 23h a day, after that another year 16h a day and for the rest of my life 12h a day
