Finished Invisalign, Still Need to Fix Bimaxillary Protrusion and Lip Posture?

Question

How can i do this? I now have straight teeth but the lip posture is off plus i have bimax protrusion still. Any options? Any options outside of surgery?

To bad this was not discussed at the start. You need to see an orthodontist and have a full work up. Your Dr will give you your new treatment choices. Usually tooth extraction is required to improve the two issues you have raised. Please discuss this fully with your Dr.

Robert Waxler, DMD, MS · Answer

This question should have been addressed before you started treatment.  A common correction is the extraction of one permanent tooth in the middle of each quadrant and then retraction of the front teeth into the spaces....a hard thing to do with Invisalign but very routine for regular braces.  Bimaxillary protrusion corrections usually do not require jaw surgery, but every case in unique....talk to your Dr.!
