Crooked teeth, wonky smiles, gaps, and overlaps are all very common. Often, attempts are made to correct these issues when we’re in our teens, with uncomfortable braces and retainers. Unfortunately, these don’t always work, typically because we don’t fully commit to the process, or we choose not to follow through with aftercare. This can mean that our teeth move back over time and even after years of dental work, our smiles aren’t what we’d like them to be.
