I am a 51 year old female. Started Invisalign 3/2021. Top teeth completed around 5/2022. Ongoing braces on bottom teeth. The orthodontist is well experienced. However, he never warned me that because of my periodontal condition I could have loose teeth and I have four of them on the lower bottom plus huge black triangles. I would’ve never started this procedure if he had warned me that any of this could even be a remote possibility. I feel like he has ruined my teeth for life. What can I do ?

You have two concerns.
1. In your current photo, lips are stretched on one side. please upload a front photo with a relaxed smiling face to judge your issue (cant OR muscle asymmetry).
2. your other concern is a curve of speed, I can see an exaggerated curve of speed in your side photo....
White spots occur because plaque and bacteria has built up around braces : the enamel there has been weakened and the tooth is at risk for a cavity and infection.
1. use high fluoride toothpaste.
if that do not work
2. visit cosmetic dentist for tooth coloured filling/ veneer.
For that cephalometric analysis [skull frontal asymmetry analysis] is must to identify the cause, basis on that one can guide you. Visit orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon.
