Ortho?: You should discuss this with your General Dentist first and then an Orthodontist. What you perceive may be easily treated, not require treatment or be indicative of a much bigger problem. We can't determine over the internet whether or not you need or could benefit from Orthodontic treatment.

See orthodontist: Anyone with a bad bite (malocclusion), can benefit from braces. Misaligned teeth also tend to make your smile look uneven and less appealing. See an orthodontist for preliminary consultation.
