Hello,

As you can see from the images, I have some bad crooked teeth.
I had braces when I was in around 6th grade, and foolishly did not wear my retainers as directed.
This caused my front lower teeth to slowly but gradually drift, overlap, and ultimately become like the photos.
I am 24 years old now and I eventually just came to accept having crooked teeth, but now am very tired of it as it causes me mild speech problems as well as self confidence issues in regard to carrying on conversations.

I would immensely like to get my lower teeth straitened and looking good again and I am wondering what my options are. Someone I know mentioned a possible solution is completely removing the front tooth, then aligning the ones behind it?Would this be my best solution, or would it be possible to straighten them with invisalign or braces? I would like to hear all options you might think I have.
I would greatly appreciate this.

Thank you

without a full consultation it is difficult to say. However my initial impression is that you should opt for fixed braces.

If you need discretion then you can always have the braces put on the inside of your teeth (as is possible with the Incognito braces), there will be a premium for this due to the increased difficulty of treating teeth from the inside

I hope this helps
