over bite help!
i need help!!
i have wonky teeth. my 2 front teeth cross over and the one next to them is gradually moving behind them. my bottom teeth are a little crossed but they dont really bother me too much. its my upper jaw that i am very conscious about.
i was offered a brace when i was 14 but i was told i would need my lower jaw broken to have it extended slightly before i could have straight teeth. they would also of needed to remove some teeth to create room as my top jaw is shaped more like a 'V' than a 'U'. at the age of 14 i was to scared to do this. my mistake!
i have been reading a few websites and have come across a few treatment that have given me hope so i would ask for some advice as to which would suit me best. The treatments iv read about are
invisalign
6 month brace
inman aligners &
lingual braces
ive specifically looked at these as they suggest that they are all discreet. Iv got the impression the 6 month smile would suit me as it focuses on the teeth at the front that u can see and not your bite. am i thinking along the right lines???
PLEASE HELP??
i could provide pictured for a better impression if this helps.

I can certainly understand you concerns. It sounds like you have a number of problems and without a full consultation it would be difficult to say what would be best. Photographs would only give us very limited information.
All brace systems have their benefits and limitations, and your treating dentist will of course discuss all options with you. There are a number of ways to make room for crooked teeth including removing some if necessary. Again I genuinely believe you would benefit from a full consultation
