Team-work: The team of you, your dentist, and an orthodontic specialist will work together to resolve your bad bite. See a qualified orthodontist (ask your dentist for referral) to get the (if you'll pardon the pun) "straight story." you'll be glad you did.

Consult with Dr.: Not all malocclusions need treatment, but many will benefit from it. There is little one can do at home to effect a more positive outcome. Quit bad habits: thumb or finger sucking etc, access continuing and preventive dental care. If your dds feels orthodontics would be of help, investigate with a specialist, it really is a wonderful specialty. Good luck!

Invisalign: The best choice for a 40 year old patient with malocclusion would be invisalign, a series of nearly invisible trays that are worn for 22 hours per day.
