Hello!If you were instructed to wear rubber bands and you have not complied chances are your teeth are not shifting as they were planned to. You may need another round of trays if your teeth haven't shifted properly. Only your treating doctor can tell you if you should start wearing the rubber bands now.
Rubber bands are typically used to correct the bite (shifting the top teeth relative to the bottom teeth). So if you haven't been wearing your elastics (rubber bands) then you won't be correcting your bite. When you visit your orthodontist, he or she will make a recommendation as to whether to start wearing them again.
Hello! Invisalign can correct even the most complex of cases such as your open bite. I suggest setting up a consultation with an Invisalign provider in your area. Best of luck!
You can get some expansion in your case to slightly widen your smile. The obvious benefit will be rotating your upper left lateral incisor to achieve a better balanced smile in the anterior. I would advise your dentist does a diagnostic work up for you to show you the Invisalign...
Hi! Yes, a bit of roughness is normal in this instance. As you eat and remove and replace your trays the buttons will smooth out. If it's unbearable, ask your dentist if they can smooth it out for you.
