Advice please?
Hi,
I came across this forum today and was wondering if someone can help?
I'm a 30 year old female who hates smiling simply because my two top central incisors are VERY off centre. They have moved around to the right by quite a large amount, so much so that I hate smiling and having my photo taken. It appears as though I only have one main front tooth, and the smaller left lateral incisor has moved so that it's more central. Other than that my teeth are in good condition, no fillings etc.
My question is will a clear brace such as invisalign, be able to make my top teeth move so that they are central incisors are where they should be, central rather than lateral? I don't really want to wear train track braces as I work in the public sector, and feel I'm a little old too. I want something that isn't noticable.
Thanks in advance

Invisalign will not be able to give you the tooth movements you requires. You would need some form of fixed brace, if discretion is a must then you can consider having the braces put on the inside using a system such as Incognito.
These types of movements can take time to do
I hope this helps

How much more are lingual braces compared to the standard fixed braces or white ceramic braces?
Could my teeth be remedied with veneers, or would they still need to be moved into a central position with a brace?
I assume I will need to be referred by a dentist for orthodontic treatment?
Sorry for all the questions.
