Hello, Is there anyway to broaden my smile/ Arch of teeth and get rid of dark spaces? I went to Consult an Orhto today and was informed that invisalign alone wouldn't widen the V shaped Arch of my teeth and that i would need (SFOT) Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy along with my invisalign treatment in order to achieve the best results.
