5 years ago I received braces because of an over jet. I was originally given 21/2 years, but somehow it has gone on to 5 and counting. my teeth has basically gone in, but I am still not pleased with my smile. I have a tooth that needs to slide into place and one that looks crooked. my lower teeth still need to be straightened, as I have overcrowding. did this really need five years or more?

EVERYONES face is asymmetric...just some people are more than others!from experience I KNOW that you notice this more than other people!Unfortunately, only surgery can fix your problem...think long and hard about doing this
My question is "Who is denying you braces?". I can't really imagine that an orthodontist would turn you away. Your case may require more than just using a retainer or Invisalign. You may need to finish off with some veneers after your teeth have been moved. I would get a second opinion from...
The easiest thing to do is try t in. If it fits the same as it did previously you should be fine. If it is putting pressure on teeth that didn't feel pressure previously I would visit with your orthodontist and have an evaluation of your retainer.
