Say: uh-LINE-ment
Alignment means to bring into line. If your teeth aren't straight, their alignment might need a little help. You can get perfect alignment with braces, those little metal wires that move your teeth into place. They're not too bad — just a little uncomfortable at first. After they're taken off, you'll have a straight and beautiful smile.
