Could my asymmetrical smile be fixed with Invisalign? (Photos)

luna300Sep 27, 2018
I had braces years ago, i had 4 teeth pulled out and my teeth are now pretty straight. But what bothers me is that my smile became asymmetrical. Before the braces it wasn't. The teeth on the right side of the picture are more caved in and my whole face on this side is more caved in. It's not a big thing, but I was wondering if those teeth could be pushed out a bit and if it would make my face more symmetrical. If it's possible, could it be done with invisalign? Or i'd need braces?

Your teeth will need to be shaven a little bit. The reason for IPRs is to create the spaces for your teeth to move. Need to communicate to your dentist. If she don’t talk, then it’s pertinent that you talk.

By shaving slightly off one tooth especially if it’s height not width, should not and doesn’t cause jaw or teeth pain. Also it will not cause retainer fitting or teeth moving issues. It must all be a coincidence.
