I had ortho treatment with extraction of two upper premolars. After more than 3 years with 3M lingual braces I am totally disappointed with the result. My smile disappeared and upper jaw went up and back. It is so bad and ugly smile now! You can hardly see my upper teeth when smiling. I am so sad and deeply depressed because I had a great smile before braces and I shouldn`t agree for any extraction. Can I reopen spaces with invisalign, put implants and bring my front teeth ahead where they were initially?
