Your options are:: The only way to actually straighten teeth is with orthodontic movement. There are many ways and methods- conventional bands and brackets, removable appliances, invisalign, etc. See an orthodontist who can actually examine you to discuss the various options. Also see your general dentist to see if composite bonding or esthetic re-contouring can offer any improvements to your smile.

Invisalign: Consider invisalign which are clear trays that will straighten your teeth. However, if you have a severe malocclusion or misaligned teeth, then braces would be the better option. See a dentist that is certified in invisalign. Of course, your doctor will determine the health of your teeth first.

Clear aligners: Clear aligner treatments like invisalign are often applicable to patients from late teens until late adulthood. The best way to determine if this type of orthodontic treatment is right for you is to make an appointment with an orthodontic specialist.

2 ways: Surgical solution: have teeth prepared and then bonded, veneered, or capped. This will require reshaping of your teeth, and periodic redo (about every 10 years) forever. Non-surgical solution: straighten your teeth. Clear aligners or removable appliances will provide an average of 41% improvement for minor irregularities. To get the best bang for your buck, however, you may need braces.
