Do not like the position of my upper right lateral incisor after Invisalign - advice? (photos)

Question

First photo is the day I finished Invisalign treatment. They look great, staring straight at myself in what I can only view as 2D. Weeks have gone by and I noticed I do not like the position of my upper right lateral incisor. I took a second mirror and placed it at an 80° angle against a mirror on the wall and those are photos 2 & 3. Asked ortho to address tooth 7 lateral incisor and all he did was put a dent behind my retainer on backside of that tooth. Help!

If there is anything about your final results that you do not like you can have your orthodontist make additional aligners to correct those issues. If you have already ordered retainers then there could be additional costs involved.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Upper lateral incisors are the most difficult teeth to move with aligner/Invisalign treatment. less expression of tooth movement is common with lateral incisors. If you want perfect tip and torque, you need more aligner trays. 
AS YOU SAND DENT IS MADE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE RETAINER,  that is to correct your issue, but if you are not satisfied with that after three weeks of that dent, discuss with the doctor and go for few more aligners.

Hello! It’s not unusual to have relapse after orthodontic treatment. Ask your orthodontist about a refinement. Good luck on your journey.
