Having crooked teeth, whether mildly or severely crooked, is a very common dental concern. It's actually very rare for someone to have a naturally straight smile. If you see someone with straight teeth the chances are it's because they have had some sort of dental alignment treatment. If you would like a straighter smile there is an array of options that your QVA dentist can discuss with you.
Mildly crooked teeth don’t always require a traditional orthodontic straightening treatment. In mild cases, veneers can be used as an alternative for a faster outcome to create the appearance of straighter, natural looking teeth. Shh, it will be our little secret.
For some people though, the position of teeth will need to be changed for functional reasons or even to allow for veneers to be used as well. If you have reached adulthood and would prefer not to go down the path of braces for your orthodontic alignment you may be able to achieve your smile goals with clear aligners. It is generally only when major movement is needed for many teeth that braces are required.
