Crooked teeth

2017-02-02 20:10:51
Hello, 4 years back, I had braces for my misaligned teeth. The lower teeth have aligned considerably but the upper ones have retained their original position. I like crooked teeth on side but the misalignment of upper 2 incisors bothers me. I do not wish to put on braces again. Is there any other alternative? Thanks in advance.

You can go for invisalign.. These are costly.. But for minor cases these are effective. And don't forget to retain the retainer this time.. At the Age of 27 treatment might take more time.
Next Steps
Visit orthodontist and ask for invisalign

hello, orthodontic (braces) is the most safest and conservative treatment. if not that, you can go for ceramic or composite veneers or crowns. visit your dentist and get it checked.
