You could ask about Invisalign... they are almost unnoticable except I
think thay cost much more than reg braces... though I can't figure out
why since they almost eliminate the many trips to adjust reg braces.
Anyway, they are clear and slip on over your teeth. You take them out
to eat and brush, and every week (or is it 2 I cant remember) you change
to the next set in the series, which is done by a computer and makes all
of the sets in progression tailor made for you and the result you want.
