Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Bracers are the best method available to straighten teeth. It is easier to correct it during young age. As the age advances, you may need to wear it for a longer duration and might require multiple sittings. Kindly consult Orthodontist in this regard for proper evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
