Is it possible to perform Invisalign for gaps like mine while minimizing the amount of backward movement? (Photo)

October 9, 2024
Asked By:Phenomenal392749 in San Luis Obispo, California

Hi! I had taken an impression of my teeth and have received a simulation of my course of treatment. The thing I like least is the way my teeth would be pulled back, which I am concerned would cause my lips to fall/curve inward and project less. I would prefer this to not happen, is it possible to modify the procedure to prevent this? If not what might other options be?

Replacing Missing Aligners?
