What is the best treatment for correcting bite alignment and resulting crooked teeth, that won't age my face?

Question

Years ago I had 2 top teeth removed due to a crowded condition. Just one was replaced with an implant, resulting in a shift of my midline, & poor bite alignment. My bottom teeth are now crooked due to my top misaligned teeth. My dentist recommended Invisaline. I started treatment & realized they weren't fixing my top teeth so my bottom teeth could be straightened, but just pushing my bottom teeth back behind my misaligned top teeth creating a sunken look to my face. Is there a better option??

Dear reipkec,Thank you so much for posting on RealSelf.  I will do my best to provide an answer with the information provided.It is difficult to advise based on the description given.  In general, Invisalign can correct most malocclusions.  If you are not seeing the results that you want, I recommend scheduling a consultation for a second opinion with an orthodontist in your local area.  He or she will gather the necessary information to provide you with treatment options.I hope that this helps.Best,Dr. Jenn
