I have had braces a long time ago, however my top teeth still slightly protrude out. I was told previously that I would need extractions if I wanted my teeth perfect. Would it be possible to straighten this angle protrusion through IPR and Invisalign? Really would like to avoid a 4 tooth extraction.
