Cases of Relapse (Teeth Shifting Back) After Invisalign?

July 3, 2009
Asked By:sppugrl in nyc

I had braces for a little over 2 years when I was 12. I am now 26 and my teeth seems to have shifted back to their original position. I have slight overcrowding and an overjet on my upper teeth. I want to know, can Invisalign correct this? How likely are the teeth going to shift back after this treatment? Thank you.
