I just started Invisalign a week ago. Now looking at the predicted outcome, I just noticed that I will have an inverted smile arc by the end of treatment. I didn't know before that this is aestheticall not pleasing in dentist's book. No one told me. I approved the plan on the basis that my teeth will be straighter. Now I'm worried.(I even tried to photoshop my picture to see what my new smile might be like). Can I tell my dentist to come up with a new plan of treatment now? Will it cost more money?
