I almost have done with my treatment 49/66, and I go to the dentist regularly and everytime doctor says it went well. But the bottom teeth are not aligned well and even worse. I need to leave the place after graduation, but I am not satisfied with the treatment, the doctor wants me to pay the rest of payment without correction what should I do? Should I keep the original plan or just now wear them?
I went with a different dentist ,and he stated that I show 5mm of gum when I smile. He advised that I get braces on my top teeth along with a gingivectomy (can only remove 1-1.5 mm of gum with gingivectomy due to my bone) how much will that actually improve my smile?
I completed Invisalign treatment about 4 months ago because of crossbite and lower crowding. I am very unhappy as I started to experience severe TMJ (which I never had before) about midway into treatment. The TMJ is only getting worse with time. Can I wear my aligners in reverse to get my old healthy bite back? Would that help my TMJ symptoms? I only had one IPR and no extractions so I think reversing the treatment could be possible.
In my initial consultation i told my Ortho I am happy to take any necessary treatment to get rid of my overbite and teeth crowing. I have almost completed 31 trays of Invisalign and I still have an overbite, my 2 front teeth are still slightly in front of the other teeth as well as off centre. I feel like I need further treatment but in my last check up my Ortho said everything is finished and theres not much more to do and iv been booked in to remove the attachments and add in retainers.
I currently have Invisalign and I went in for a check up and my orthodontist said my bottom teeth weren't tracking properly with my top teeth. So then he said he had to put metal braces on them because Invisalign isn't working. They are not crowding and don't need rotating or anything serious so is this common? Or should we be doing another remold for new trays to better track my bottom teeth? I'm very unhappy with metal braces.
I tried to tell my ortho that I'm not satisfied with my teeth but he keeps telling me that they are fine, it makes me sad because I spent a lot of money! I was wondering if it costs a lot to have a second opinion and if that ortho would call my dentist for me because I'm too shy stand up for my self and too short ;)
Just finished Invisalign Express treatment (20 aligners total) and am not satisfied. Will I need to begin a whole new treatment? After aligner #20, the dentist adjusted my bite and I wore my retainers full time for 4 months. My retainers were never fully seated. I now wear my retainer only at bedtime and feel my teeth shift during the day. I have spaces between teeth that did not fully close after IPR. My dentist gave me two options: adjust my bite again or restart a full case. Opinions/advice on the best course of action would be helpful. My dentist recommended the Express, however she has not offered to remedy this situation.
I wore Invisalign for about a year. I was not quite satisfied with my results. Expected a perfect smile and I don't see it. My ortho said my mouth is too small to make any adjustments but believes my teeth are as perfect as they are going to get. Is this true? I don't know if to continue on the search for a perfect smile or is this really it. Maybe I just need to learn how to smile? Please advise. Thank you.
My teeth were not that crooked to begin with but here I am 2 years later still trying to get my teeth straight and my dentist claims they are already straight but I can clearly see the bottom row over lapping and 1 tooth on the top row over lapping. What should I do if he wants to end treatment and I'm not happy with the results?
I'm on my second refinement (3 more aligners to go). The canines still stick out too much but my dentist says my teeth are aligned if you look at them from underneath and it's because they're so big and fat that they stick out and there's nothing anyone can do. My laterals don't seem to be flash with my two front teeth either. Any advice would be appreciated because I just don't believe that I paid thousands to end up with a mediocre result like this or is my dentist right?
