When it comes to handling teeth that are crooked, misaligned or otherwise imperfect in some respect, we usually want a solution that will achieve the best results in the shortest possible time. Some individuals consider it a wonderful bonus if the solution is also as invisible and unobtrusive as possible, while others consider it mandatory that the solution be invisible and unobtrusive.

Since our mouth and smile, or lack thereof, is often one of the first thing that others notice about us, it's no surprise that everyone desires to have a beautiful, aesthetic smile that they can confidently show off at any time, to any one. Unfortunately, crooked or misaligned teeth can adversely affect the wholeness and aesthetics of your smile.

Everyone understands what it's like to go to the dentist's office and wait, nervously, for the dentist to check their x-rays, examine their teeth and mouth and finally declare that everything "looks good". Every opportunity one has to hear that their oral cavity is healthy and free from decay is much-appreciated.

Do you find it easy to smile naturally and comfortably? Or do you hide your smile behind your hand? Perhaps you've even changed how you smile, using your lips to cover more of your teeth? If you hide or change your smile, you're certainly not alone. It is not unusual for many individuals to feel self-conscious about their smile.
