i had removable braces as a teenager

Q. I had braces as a teenager – the fitted braces followed by removable ones. my teeth slipped back over the years and are now becoming more crossed over at the front. I have two crowns – one on either side (where the removable brace fitted – not sure if that weakened them causing me to require crowns) – could I get an invisalign brace or will this not work due to me having crowns. I also have a wisdom tooth on one side which is very close to the back – will this need to be removed? Or could I have one of my crowned tooth removed and allow my teeth space to straighten with that gap

A. You can have invisalign with crowns provided the crowns are healthy.  Your dentist will need to inform invisalgin when treatment planning your case as we sometimes have to bond tooth coloured attachments to teeth for maore advanced tooth movements.  This can be difficult to bond to existing crowns.

I am looking for some advice.. I had a brace as a teenager but now my top teeth have moved slightly and one of them is particularly out of alignment. The rest of my upper teeth are fairly straight I just want the front two to be straighter. Which straightening method would you recommend and could you give a rough quote?
