Hey all, I have had invisalign for 3 years. However the results are not as I had hoped. As you can tell from the photos the 3 teeth from your left are not in the same position as the right. Tooth #1 is still rotated and tooth #2 and #3 are tilted inwards. Also tooth #3 is still a 'baby tooth'. What are my options? 1 Get steel braces and use bonding 2 Bonding on 3 teeth 3 Vaneers on 3 teeth 4 Do nothing and get whitened I am so unhappy! Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
