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

Question

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?

In my opinion, it would be possible to provide a better result than the one shown in the photos.  There are differences between orthodontists, you should visit several different orthodontists.  Look for board certified, over 10 years experience, and look for Dr's who's own their own practice (as opposed to Dr's who work for a chain of dental offices)  There are many good orthodontist in your area who could help you.  It will probably take a full course of treatment an probably the removal of some teeth.
