due to thumb sucking my teeth are pushed up and causing arched gap how can i fix it?

Q. As a child and teenager I sucked my thumb causing my teeth to be pushed up and causing a arched gap. It is quite pronounced and people often comment that they can’t see my top teeth when I talk. I feel very self conscious and embarrassed by my teeth. Is there anything that can be done?

A. Orthodontics is the best option depending on the position of your teeth will decide the best type of orthodontics.  I would recommend fixed braces as your best option possible Damon braces or Invisalign although this may not completely correct your problems.
