Use multimedia queries. This is the heart and soul of Bootstrap.
Since the default breakpoint BS3 for minimizing the navigation system is 767 pixels. Why not determine how you want it to behave above and below this point.
One possible solution as such would be ...
@media (min-width:768px) { .navbar-collapse { text-align:center; } } @media (max-width:767px) { .navbar-collapse { text-align:left; } }
