I want to fix my mouth, and am set up to do Invisalign to straighten my teeth. My dentist wants to do IPR, but I didn't like that idea because I don't want to compromise my natural tooth shape (which I like) for straightness. Really, I want my mouth, teeth and jaw to be in their correct spots. I don't want solutions that simply mimic a perfect mouth (taking out teeth, shaving teeth, etc). My overbite bothers me, and I want my face and mouth to look the way it would if it was right. How can I?

Answer: Can 8 mm of Overjet be Corrected With Invisalign?`
I would NOT recommend removing any adhesive (glue) from your old retainer at home as this could damage your teeth. I think your best option is to find an orthodontist who can remove the glue for you and discuss options for a new retainer (there are many different kinds of retainers). Long...
Extracting teeth will make your mouth smaller, crowd your tongue and decrease your airway. I would rather see growth appliance with DNA aplliance or SARPE.
