Q. Can i have a clear brace if i’ve got an overbite? The dentist said i’d need an operation to fix it but i just want the wonky teeth straightened out.

A. You should be able to have clear braces.  Sometimes if your teeth stick out a lot you may need another appliance first to push then in a little first so the plastic will stretch over your teeth.  If you are willing to accept the positions of your teeth then you don’t have to surgery but you must be aware the final result may not be perfect.
