Impacted canine teeth alternatives besides braces?

babymemeSep 13, 2017
I have 2 impacted canine teeth, i ended up getting braces removed for whatever reason, i DO NOT want to have to get braces back on. When i did have my braces on the only thing that happened is they set my canines back farther from the rest in order to do the surgery. I hate the way that my teeth look, it almost looks like i have 2 missing canines bc of how far back they sit & they are also baby teeth so alot smaller & also darker. What would be another option for me besides braces.
