No, orthodontic treatment isn’t automatically part of every smile makeover. Perhaps you have a couple unsightly gaps or spots of overlapping teeth, but if braces aren’t necessary to keep your mouth healthy, then you have other options to choose from. For example, you could spend as little as six months in Invisalign clear aligners to correct front teeth that are slightly crowded. Or you could make your teeth look straighter by altering them with dental bonding or covering them with veneers.
