Hello Lybrate-user, scaling and polishing has never posed any risk to the dental health and hence recommended once in 6 months.
You can go ahead with scaling and polishing.

The best way to know if scaling is required for you at that point of time is to visit your dentist every six months for a routine check up.in theory, scaling is recommended every six months but your dentist can examine the health of your teeth and gums and suggest the frequency of scaling required by you.

Dear Lybrate User, Scaling and Polishing should not be a too much costly affair for you as the rates vary from 500-2500 INR. Some dental clinics might even do it free for you as a part of their promotional campaign. It's not at all a complicated procedure and a gentle dental clinic might do it at a very economical rate for you. If you'd be lucky enough, you might avail it for free as well! Be well.

While I understand your concerns about your teeth and desire for a straighter smile, it's important to seek professional advice for accurate diagnosis and treatment options. Here's what I can offer:
