Dead teeth, upper bite
I have a fake molar tooth on my left and I need to fix two dead molar on the right (upper and lower). I can't chew from my right side, I also have an upper bite. My right incisor is crooked and the rest of the teeth starting from my canine appear to have shifted back. It impacts my smile. I want braces to fix that. I would like it if the braces don't show.

There are multiple options in orthodontic treatment now. Yes there is less visible ceramic braces or invisible lingual braces and also clear aligners. Dead teeth on the right side needs to be fixed by root canal treatment and crowns.

Get proper treatment (may be root canal) of your dead teeth as they are more useful for chewing, braces will be the best option for your smile designing, one or more tooth may requires removal for smile correction (if adviced) but its worth , go ahead

Hi
Having so many issues might need a multi speciality approach.
The alignment and crooked teeth can be solved with braces. Braces option if you want it to be totally invisible is either Aligners or Lingual braces. Conventional options are Metal and ceramic braces both of which will show.
Once done with braces you need to go in for teeth replacement if missing and correction of dead teeth as well so that the teeth do not shift back.
Regards
