Any way to straighten teeth without braces or surgery?

Question

I had braces when I was younger, and my teeth turned out great. Now my wisdom teeth came in the back and screwed them all up again... Are there any nightly worn retainers that straighten em out?? Thanks.

Well they arent really really bad. Basically my left canine and front tooth stick out more than the other side a little bit. It's not enough to notice from the front, but there deffinitely is a difference from the side of my face. I'm probably gonna have to have those wisdom teeth removed (does anyone know if it hurts real bad????)

Answer 1

Try Invisalign, you dont even notice them and you could probably just wear them at nights, and when you at home.

Answer 2

My mom had these plastic inserts that look like mouth guards. They had to be changed every so often as her teeth moved but it prevented her from having "brace face". She did wear them all the time except when eating. You have to be diligent about keeping them in and getting the new ones but her teeth look fantastic and she had VERY bad alignment prior. I don't recall what they are called but most orthodontists should know about them. Good luck.

Answer 3

get your wisdom teeth pulled, then ask the dentist about a retainer. I'm surprised the orthodontist didnt' remove them before he put on your braces, most of them do.

Answer 4

why not see a dentist for a consultation and get a couple free professional opinions. i doubt anyone on yahoo is going to be able to give you the right answer / without seeing your mouth / x rays, etc.

Answer 5
