My bottom teeth go off to the left. I would love to have my bite aligned properly. I am not sure what the best method for me is. Any help would be appreciated. See photos below.

Answer: Correcting a misaligned bite
In general, correcting a bite problem is best addressed by an orthodontist, a dentist who specializes in diagnosing and correcting bite problems. From looking at your photos it's difficult to assess the problem. I suggest you visit an orthodontist who is experienced using a variety of appliance systems (eg braces, Invisalign or other clear aligners) and see what is recommended. You probably won't be charged for the initial visit and will get a wealth of information that should help you make an informed decision about what to do.

Answer: Visit an Orthodontist
It's hard to tell from the photos you supplied what the problem is with your bite. My best recommendation is to visit a few orthodontists and get some opinions. Most probably this is an orthodontic situation that can be treated with traditional braces or possibly clear aligner therapy.
Good Luck!
