I have slight small gaps and cannot afford invisalign as im a student

Q. I have slightly small gaps in between my teeth and i would like to know the ways of closing the gaps. I have researched the invailign braces and they sound the best thing.. but im only a student and cant afford much and i dont qualify for braces becsuase my teeth are just gappy and not wonky N

A. Dear N,

Thank you for your question, from the sounds of it I too think Invisalign ( invisible orthodontics) would be a great way to close those gaps. Sometimes gaps can also arise because your teeth are too small for your mouth. Treatment can be as little as 4 to 6 months depending on the position of your teeth. However, even if your teeth are moved quickly it is critical that you wear a retainer for at least 6 months to stop the gaps re opening. In terms of finance we like others offer 0 % finance for upto 2 years so that can really help you spread the cost.
I Hope this helps.
