Can you get braces on just your front teeth?
Of course you can - it all depends on your personal aims and objectives. I am assuming you mean ALL the upper teeth. If you are happy with your upper teeth only being fixed, we are happy as well! If you mean only 2-4 teeth, it becomes more difficult because you have less teeth to pull/push against as you straighten the others.
Thank you,
Dr. Favalli
Do you need braces to fix a few teeth?
If you want to move a couple of teeth around you can either do it with 1. traditional braces or 2. some type of aligner therapy such as Invisalign or 3. IF it is a small movement then all you need is a retainer with springs.
I hope I answered your question!

How long is Invisalign treatment?
Closing a gap between your front teeth doesn't take too long at all. It all depends on the size of the gap (bigger=longer), the age of the patient(younger=quicker), the amount of bone around those teeth (less=longer), and if you are taking any medications at all, that could affect the movement of teeth.
