A member asked:
Are there any other cheaper healthy options than braces and crowns for teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Frankly, braces are used to move teeth and crowns are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth. Only a dental professional can diagnose you issue and/or recommend an alternative therapy.

Maybe: Not knowing exactly what you are describing? Does everybody need braces? No! does every tooth need a crown? No! without seeing your exact condition, it is very difficult to answer.
