I got a slight open bite/under bite after receiving Invisalign ( did not finish treatment because the orthodontist was so unprofessional ) and lingual treatment on my bottom 8 teeth ( from another dentist to close a gap that was created for space ) I fixed a retainer on my bottom teeth.. and now a year later, I can't close or bite down properly... I've asked around and some said I need braces and jaw surgery and some told me I need invisialign again.. please help
