There are various methods for correcting crooked teeth, among which dental braces are the most commonly used. Braces can effectively correct tooth misalignment, but require patients to regularly replace their aligners as directed to ensure optimal results. In addition, surgical correction is another option for treating crooked teeth. Surgical correction is a more complex procedure in which patients undergo orthodontic surgery during which the dentist repositions the teeth into their proper alignment. Surgical correction generally yields good results, but it also carries certain risks. Therefore, patients should consult with their dentist before opting for surgical treatment.
