Hi everyone. Hoping to get some advice, maybe some ideas to talk with my dentist about during my next visit.
I am 38 years old. My top teeth are pretty straight, but my bottom teeth have crowded a bit over the years. In particular, my two bottom center teeth now overlap a bit. The problem is the one that is angling in toward my tounge is bothering me a bit. It seems to effect my speech slightly. I am not that concerned about the cosmetic look to be honest. It doesn't look that bad right now, at least not enough for me to want to do a full braces treatment. But, I am considering it anyway cause the position of the tooth is bothering me. Any ideas on what might be some good options?
