I HAD BRACES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND MY TEETH ARE CROOKED AGAIN. I DON’T WANT TO WEAR BRACES AGAIN – WHAT CAN I DO?

For patients with this issue, we discuss a few different straightening options during the consultation visit. Invisalign – clear retainers that slowly move the teeth into the correct position – is one possibility. (The length of treatment with Invisalign depends on how crooked your teeth have become.) Another route is to use porcelain veneers, which have the big advantage of making the teeth look aligned in just a week or two, without actually moving them. In some cases you can use invisalign for a defined period of time to move the teeth into a “better” position and then placing veneers over the teeth to complete the transformation.
