Teeth alignment
Hello. I have my upper left incisor pointing outward and also I have gap in between four front teeth on the upper side. I want to get them aligned properly. I want to ask if there is any alternative to braces which can be really quick and low in cost. Also I want to ask if plastic aligners available online are safe to use. Thank you!

Hello. I would not recommend the plastic aligners available online as this process is very technique sensitive and requires evaluation from time to time. Also, if anything goes wrong, it's not just one or two teeth getting affected but all your teeth and it will also affect your face structure.
As for an alternative, there are veneers but you need to visit a nearby dentist who can tell you if your problem can be addressed by veneers or not.
Braces/invisalign would be the best permanent and natural solution for your teeth.
