Flared teeth after braces, how can I fix this? Very unhappy with the result. (Photos)

February 9, 2018
Asked By:a7n7a

Hello, I just had my braces taken off and i am verry unhappy with the result. I don't know, how i could not see this before but as you can see in the photos, my upper teeth are sticking out. This was not the problem before i put braces on. The main problem were crowded lower teeth, which are now nice and straight. My ortho says it is because of my short teeth and the shape of my maxilla. Is there any way i could fix this? Could invisalign or damon braces fix this?
