Would Invisalign be the best form of treatment to straighten my bucked front teeth?

May 22nd, 2012

Hello Adam,
I have slightly bucked teeth at the top and have never received treatment to sort them out. I am 23 and I feel more self concious now. I have a dentist on the NHS who said a brace should sort it out but I didn’t realise there were so many different types these days.

A.
