The ‘perfect teeth' photo editor is called SmileView, which gives you an idea of how you could look with straight teeth after completing Invisalign aligner treatment. It's designed to give you a rough smile simulation in just a minute, without you having to visit one of their dentists.

What would I look like with straight teeth?

Having a “perfect” smile can make a big difference to your confidence and oral health, but not everybody is born with perfectly straight teeth. Some common causes of crooked teeth include:

• Jaw development problems
• Childhood habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting
• Genetics
• Gum disease

If any of these things have affected your teeth, you might find yourself wishing you could fix your teeth in photos occasionally, or hiding your teeth when you smile.

Orthodontic work is a very effective way to straighten teeth, whether you have mild crowding or a more severe problem like a crossbite, where the top teeth sit inside the bottom teeth instead of outside.

The teenage years are a great time to get braces because the mouth and jaw are still developing, and tooth movement can be easier. But these days, more and more adults are deciding to get their teeth straightened too. Those who are put off by the idea of metal braces have a variety of other options to choose from.

A tool like the Invisalign SmileView is an ideal way to see what you would look like with straight teeth. Getting this virtual makeover might help you decide whether to go ahead with getting braces or teeth aligners.

Ways to get straighter teeth

As we mentioned earlier, fixed metal braces are now only one of many ways to fix your teeth and get a smile you're confident to show off. Let's look at the options in more detail.

Invisible removable braces

Removable braces like Invisalign aligners are becoming increasingly popular, especially among adults and teens. The reasons for this are obvious:

• Suitable for a lot of people
• They are easier to clean than fixed braces
• You can remove them for 2-4 hours per day
• They are very hard to notice

Treatment consists of a series of clear plastic aligners which fit snugly over the teeth and put pressure in just the right places to gradually shift teeth into better alignment.

You have to keep the aligners in for 20-22 hours per day, and you can't eat or drink anything except water while wearing them. This gives you a limited window of time to eat and then clean your teeth and aligners before having to put them back in.

This may sound inconvenient, but on the other hand, you're able to brush and floss as normal – no risk of food getting stuck in your braces.

If you are interested in clear aligner treatment and looking for a more affordable option than Invisalign, you can look at alternatives like NewSmile and Smile Direct Club.

Fixed braces

The traditional style of braces uses a bracket and wire system to pull teeth into alignment. You may picture metal “train track” braces, but there are other less obvious styles available as well. These include clear ceramic braces, designed to blend in with your tooth colour, and lingual braces, which are hidden behind your teeth.

Your new, straight teeth should end up looking the same whichever kind of braces you choose, but if you have a severe malocclusion then you may not be a good candidate for certain types. An orthodontist will be able to assess your teeth and let you know your options.

Veneers

An alternative way to make your teeth look straight is to get veneers. These are like thin covers which don't alter the position of your natural teeth, but instead give them a better aesthetic appearance.

Not everyone is a good candidate for veneers since they can really only cover up slight crowding or gaps. Treatment usually involves removing some healthy tooth enamel too, and veneers will need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

There is also the risk they won't look very natural, especially if you're going for a bright white shade. For all these reasons, we'd recommend you consider the options carefully when deciding on the best way to get a smile makeover.

What will my teeth look like after braces?

Many orthodontists, including those who work with the Invisalign system, have advanced software which lets them plan your treatment step by step and show you what your teeth should like afterwards.

Any smile visualisation they show you is only a projection since orthodontic treatment is not always 100% predictable. However, your orthodontist will monitor your treatment throughout and make extra adjustments as needed.

Sometimes, people's teeth take longer to move than expected, and this can prolong the treatment time. Still, the end result should be teeth that are properly aligned and come together correctly when you bite. We have a separate page featuring some before and after braces photos so you can see the kind of transformation possible.

Not only do straighter teeth look better in many cases; but they are also easier to clean. So, by getting your teeth straightened you're also setting yourself up for better oral health in the future.

Using a teeth straightening app to fix teeth in pictures

What if you're not considering braces but just want a teeth straightening app that works as a teeth editor for photos? The Invisalign SmileView app will do this, provided you have a photo of yourself smiling straight at the camera.

However, it's not intended for this purpose. If you want to fix your teeth in multiple photos then you may be better off downloading a ‘fix my teeth' app which gives you a virtual teeth makeover on as many photos as you like.

If you're tired of editing your photos to hide crooked teeth, you can get them straightened for good in around six months for just £1,539. It's a much better long-term solution!

Conclusion

Wondering what you'd look like with straighter teeth is one thing, but if you're considering treatment to fix your teeth then we recommend you book an appointment with a dentist or orthodontist. This allows you to:

• Discuss the different treatment options available to you
• Get a personalised quotation and treatment plan
• See a 3D smile simulation (if available)
• Understand any potential complications
• Check for any other dental work that should be completed first

If you're interested in Invisalign clear aligners, you can check for providers near you and book an appointment online. Most dentists offer two or three different types of braces, so if you decide against aligners you will still have other options.

If you're tired of using a photo editor to fix your teeth in pictures, it's worth considering orthodontic work at almost any age. Teeth straightening can make a big difference to your self-confidence and your oral health in the future.
