Hello Lauren,

Thank you for your enquiry.

The best option is to have braces, there are orthodontic systems that are invisible which you can have.

2 years may seem like a long time now, but it is the best long term treatment to straighten your teeth.

There are alternatives however; you wouldn’t be suitable for these until you are 18-20 anyway.
