Will Invisalign Push Up the Upper Lip?

Mshi13Jul 29, 2009
I heard that Braces will push up your upper lip, will Invisalign do this? Since braces have the bulky metal thing in the front, it will push my upper lip up. This is not good for me since my teeth are already kinda doing that.

If you are unhappy with the results from Invisalign, you can switch at any point to braces. There may be some added cost, depending on the office policy.

Your Invisalign dentist will be able to replace the attachment. Continue wearing your trays as normal and make an appointment. Your dentist will be able to use the tray you are wearing to make a new button. Not an emergency.

Essix retainers have been around for a long time and look identical to the invisalign retainers. I am sure invisalign could make them even after traditional ortho, but it's likely not worth the hassle. Retainers like that are often created in the office.
