I haven't been on here for many years but I have an extremely phobic daughter who is now 19.
After trying all sorts of things and taking her here there and everywhere, she finally had her teeth checked and cleaned under sedation last year. Amazingly after not having had a check up for a decade, her teeth were absolutely fine.
But I know she is unhappy with the appearance/spacing of her teeth and would love to be able to get them straightened. I have recently been through the braces route with my middle daughter who now has lovely straight teeth, must be very hard to see for my older daughter.
So my question is - can orthodontics be done in a non invasive way? I know there are these aligners now that people talk about, and 3D scans instead of x-rays etc.
Is there any way she could get her teeth straightened without sitting in the dentist's chair?
