foreveryoung1987Aug 15, 2018
Before braces my teeth had a natural outward tilt // . I don't know if it is considered correct from the orthodontics perspective but it looked good on my face. After two years in braces I can't look at my smile without breaking into tears.

Can my teeth be put back close to their original position with Invisalign?
