What Can I Do to Fix Off-centered Teeth? (photo)

Question

My top teeth are slightly shifted to the side.. will braces fix this? I dont want to have jaw surgery :(

Tanya Vaysman, DMD · Answer

Fixing a tooth that is off center and making teeth straight in general is always relatively easy part of orthodontic treatment then making the bite fit together well. It is hard to see from the photo so you would have to have an actual consultation with the orthodontist, but it does look like you have an underbite, which is a much more serious problem. It is important that your teeth are healthy, not just look straight. The underbite might be more difficult to correct and might require surgery.

In your photo, I'm not sure if that is how your upper and lower teeth actually meet eachother normally, or if you were purposely protruding your lower jaw? An orthodontist will be able to re-align your teeth properly with standard braces, not Invisalign.
