Braces or surgery: Depends on the type of malocclusion. See an orthodontist for him to determine whether it can be treated with orthodontics (braces) or if it is skeletal in nature and requires orthognathic surgery.

Braces: Orthodontics is the practice of fixing maloccusions. I suggest setting up a free consultation with a board certified orthodontist.

Orthodontics: A bad bite or malocclusion may be corrected with any number of techniques, devices, or appliances. Start with an appointment with an orthodontic specialist to get an opinion about what options are best in your situation.

Ortho Rx: Short answer...Orthodontic treatment. Long answer...At 35 may need braces, with or without surgery, for best (95%) result. Modest improvement (41%) at higher cost with clear aligners (invisalign, clear correct, etc.) see a qualified orthodontic specialist for best individualized answer, as opposed to a general dentist who does a limited amount of ortho rx.

A good orthodontist: Almost anyone can straighten the front teeth if they have a dental degree. There are too many appliances to recount, that will correct a malocclusion. The best answer is to choose a certified specialist in orthodontics with excellent clinical skills and a very good understanding of the biological consequences of treatment. In short: a good orthodontist.
