Started Invisalign 6 years back. After my first round of Invisalign And a revision, I ended with a mild posterior open bite (front teeth hitting first). was then sent to a different orthodontist who erupted my molars to close the open bite.

I have constant headaches, teeth pain, and face soreness. Can my ortho Reverse my treatment?
