A member asked:
My front teeth are crooked, they have been aching/ feeling uncomfortable recently. i'm over 18 so i can't get braces is there anything i can do?

You can get braces: Approximately 25-30% of all Orthodontic patients today are Adults. I would recommend that you see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (usually free) at which time the Orthodontist can discuss options with you. It's always better to straighten teeth than to cut into them.
