I completed my invaslign treatment in May 2020, however I was still not satisfied with my front teeth. My orthodontist said they were aligned and could not do anything else. Even when I asked my dentist he also said the same. When I look at my teeth the first thing I notice is the front teeth are not symmetrical.
