I have a partial crossing of my front teeth, not as severe as the photo shown here but very much like it. It has never really bothered me, but I was curious to know if I did seek out a method of straightening these, which should I look into? Braces or Invisalign, or something else altogether? All of my other teeth grew straight without the need for braces, it is only these two that chose to cross, so I'm not sure if surgery or full treatment is actually necessary. Thank you in advance.
