Have you long been under the impression that you need braces to align your teeth? Perhaps a friend recently mentioned that she closed a space between two teeth and that she did not need orthodontics to do so. Can cosmetic care align your smile, you may wonder? While our treatments that are not orthodontic in nature cannot address misalignment that requires major shifting (like an over bite, under bite, cross bite, or otherwise), our services do offer improvement for small issues. See how much you know (or don’t yet know) with a fun quiz.
Quiz: True or False?
- True or False: If you are looking for a way to close spaces between teeth, you may rely on a variety of cosmetic care treatments without necessarily needing Invisalign or traditional braces.
