Protruding front teeth

[Loraine]

I am 25 years old and have always been too embarrassed to smile. I have protruding front teeth which upset me and I have decided that I would like my teeth straightened.

Im not keen on extensive orthodontic treatment over many years, nor do I want braces that will be an eyesore. A friend of mine has told me about Invisilign invisible braces.

Please let me know if there is a way my protruding front teeth can be aligned using invisible braces over a reasonable period of time.

Hello Loraine,

Thank you for your post.

Invisalign invisible braces can correct protruding front teeth. The amount of correction will depend on your bite, the amount of protrusion you have and the amount of spacing if any present.

Orthodontic treatment can take 1-2 years even with fixed braces. The average invisalign case takes 1 year but this can be much shorter depending on the severity of the case. The really good thing with invisalign is that even if your case takes longer that you initially hoped, the aligners are nearly invisible so no one can tell your in treatment.

We would need to see you for consultation and assessment to confirm your case can be treated with invisalign. Invisalign consultations are free and we can offer weekend appointments as well.
