I have teeth that are not straight. I was wondering if I could get a flipper that could go over all my teeth and make my smile look straight. I don’t want to go and pay a lot to go and get braces when it takes a long time … and is more painful. thanks

Taylor,
\nA dental\u00a0flipper<\/a> is used to replace one or more missing teeth, and it snaps onto your existing teeth with a small wire clasp.<\/p>\n

What could work for you is a Snap-On Smile. This snaps over your teeth, and could work if you have crooked teeth – it will make them look straight.<\/p>\n

But especially if you have teeth that stick out a little, the Snap-On Smile<\/a> would have to be made even a little extra bulky. It might not look great for you. I’d recommend going to an excellent cosmetic dentist so you get an honest opinion about how this would look.<\/p>\n

If it’s the pain of braces and the long time it would take, the best thing may be Invisalign invisible braces<\/a>. It takes about half the time of conventional braces – most cases can be done within 9 months to a year. And there are no painful brackets or wires. I’d check that out.
