CLAIM YOUR PROFILEYou can wear your retainers, they won’t be able to cause damage. They can move your teeth if worn 18-20 hours/day. The initial discomfort subsided after few days. It’s the pain associated with moving teeth, just like with braces. Depending on how much your teeth have moved, they may or may not go back to perfect but will get better. After 4-6 weeks of wearing retainers full time, you can start cutting back and eventually only wear retainers at night.

It seems like you are very critical about your facial appearance. You have a beautiful face and no need for extravagant procedures. I don’t see any asymmetrical issues in your face and jaw, but can’t see your teeth and bite in these photos.
Orthodontics can definitely make your bite even ( if needed) and if you like it can change your lips to a softer look. It’s best to see an Orthodontist to discuss your options and orthodontic treatment.

It will be difficult to find an orthodontist to remove your braces. There could be existing damage to your teeth and gums and Orthodontists don’t want to be responsible for that. It is best to go to your orthodontist in Mexico and make sure you get retainers to keep your teeth from shifting.

That’s unfortunate that you need a root canal but no problem for your Invisalign. Make sure to see an Endodontist ( dentist who specializes and only performs root canals with microscopic technique). After your root canal, you may need a crown and therefore may need new aligners. It should not cost too much for the new impressions or scans if you need them. As a general rule, your best bet is to have your Invisalign treatment with an orthodontist since they specialize in Orthodontic treatment and where plastic aligners fail to deliver which happens often,they can offer alternatives for you to still have a perfect outcome. Best of luck!
