Apply.
St Andrews requirements are ambiguous - 'Standard entry grades: AAA, Minimum entry grades: ABB' - what on earth does that mean. I suspect that St Andrews isn't as competitive as they'd like us to think. Its worth the risk.

I think you are at risk of aiming too high and thus not getting offers so suggest that that you apply to at least a couple of unis in the range AAB - ABB.

I'm not sure about St Andrews but Warwick and Durham both require A*AA so unless you qualify for a contextual offer you are 3 grades below. Unis asking for A*AA are extremely competitive which means you may well get rejections from them, especially with graphic design as your third A level.

Maybe apply to one or two unis where you would be surprised to get an offer but make sure at least 3 are more realistic re your predicted grades

Your teachers arent being honest with you. If they have predicted you ABB that is what top universities will look at. Every year 75% of students dont reach their predicted grades and universities are aware of this.

Universities like you are looking at have numerous applicants and dont need to fill spaces. They look at your predicted grades and compare them with others who will have far higher predicted grades. Who do you think they will choose. Someone who has A*AA or somebody with ABB. You will almost certainly get rejected. You could try adjustment if they are accepting applications or take a gap year and apply with actual grades.
