I've been wearing invisalign since 1/10 for an overjet on my upper teeth & a crossbite.The Ortho did IPR between almost every tooth on upper and lower teeth. My teeth have now been pushed back extensively that when I smile,my upper teeth barely show because my lips cover them.Before invisalign,more teeth were visible.My arch is also now narrowing. I am on refinement tray 3 out of 6. I am not happy.Is it possible to move the teeth out (forward) slightly so I show more of my upper front teeth?
