my top front tooth on the right and the tooth next to it are a little misaligned. the rest of my teeth are perfectly straight. the front tooth is pointing inward and the one next to it outward. I got a consultation and the dentist said I would need braces for 18 months but I don't believe that my teeth are even noticeably crooked to other people it just bothers me haha. I want to fix them without braces or Invisalign. is there a cheap way to fix a small problem like a spring retainer maybe?
