What is the best option for one to straighten their teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Braces: The best option for straightening your teeth will depend on your particular teeth and will be different for everyone. Traditional braces, invisalign, crowns or veneers are some options. Start with an evaluation with your general dentist or an orthodontist and discuss your goals and learn what options you have.

Braces: Braces average >90% improvement. Invisalign averages 41% improvement. Other types of "tooth movers" are less successful. Tooth moving is non-invasive. Restorative treatment to camouflage compromises the integrity of the tooth. Best solution: have your orthodontist and your restorative dentist arrive at the coordinated treatment that best resolves your unique problem.
