A bright and cheerful smile can light up a room. However, if you have crooked teeth, you may be uncomfortable while smiling, posing for pictures, etc. In the past decade, orthodontic treatment has transformed, and now, thanks to invisible braces, people can get teeth straightening without worrying about aesthetic ramifications. ;

Your tooth needs to be evaluated clinically and x ray needs to be done for proper management of your problem. Using a toothpaste for sensitivity issue won't help much till the actual cause for sensitivity is known. Kindly visit a dentist for the same.
