You can go for clear aligners. Clear aligners are transparent , custom made and can be removed for few hours a day.. They move the teeth little by little as the tooth moving forces are built into these aligners. Number of aligners vary as per the severity of the case ... typically 10 to as much as 60 aligners. Invisalign clear aligners are popular all over the world but are expensive. Other aligners are available which could be cheaper...
