How Invisalign Helps Improve Flawed Smiles
There are different flaws that make people unhappy with the way they look when they smile and speak. One problem is poor alignment, which can leave someone with gaps, overlaps, and other issues that are considered unflattering. What makes people reluctant to ask about treatment is the concern that they will have to wear conspicuous braces.
