Which one is more effective and or better? Also why is it that orthodontist's prefer to use rubber bands to correct overbites rather than appliance such as forsus springs. Besides the hassle and struggle of having Forsus springs, are they actually better then rubber bands?

I am very sorry to hear you are not happy after completing orthodontic treatment. You should have been able to trust that the recommended treatment was best for you. Unfortunately, many orthodontists still believe that bicuspid extraction orthodontics is sound treatment. I have written...
Five years in braces would discourage anyone from having braces put back on their teeth. Based on the very limited information available (a single photograph) I can only say that it appears that your smile is very narrow (only the front six teeth are visible) and you have a bit of a "gummy"...
Unfortunately a retainer would not have the ability to move your teeth in place. Only and orthodontic appliance would! Clear alignes would be ideal to use to move this tooth in position. Alternatively you may elect conventional braces. Your final results will look amazing!All the best,
