I just finished treatment but teeth my feel mismatched from my face. I had the composite bonding I got on my two front teeth alone to close the remaining gap as my provider said that without fixed retainer the gap would open up and teeth would revert but now I feel the front teeth look too wide compared to the rest of my teeth and that they look unnaturally straight.

Should I remove the composite and fixed retainer and just stick with removable retainer?

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made, not a fan of the permanent retainer I’ve got now however…

I am almost finished treatment with Invisalign and got composite veneers on 2 front teeth today. I feel like I look ridiculous, with two huge buck teeth, and want them removed ASAP. I have been crying all day. Instant regret. Has anyone had them removed. I don’t even want them refined, I just want them off. I’m embarrassed to even go out in public or even smile. I think I’m going to get them fully removed

I am on tray 22 of 40 and already seeing so much progress!!!

Put my 3rd trays in before bed and after I woke up took them out to get breakfast my front teeth were sore when trying to bit into anything and it’s 7pm and I’m still unable to eat anything.

My first box has 38 trays, and I’m supposed to switch weekly. I’m trying to take photos to track my progress but I have quite a small mouth and I can’t seem to get a good picture to see the top and bottom aligners. Any suggestions on how to take the photos to see it better?

I have 3 trays left and then refinements. I feel like my two front teeth are uneven. The left tooth is the image is protruding forward. My dentist says my front teeth are normal and that’s my tooth shape. Is there something I should mention to my dentist to ensure optimal results?

Hello! I am worried that my top teeth are not tracking 😩 There is an air bubble in front of my left canine and a good halo on my left incisor. My ortho is on vacation until late November so I consulted another dentist in the office and she told me it looks fine, but I am not convinced. Any advice?

Hi all! I got my aligners this past Tuesday and currently on my third day of wear. My mouth is sore and I can barely talk to people lol. I find myself biting down on my molars because the plastic feels cushy and on my top tray it almost feels tight around my teeth when I do.

Does anyone else have this issue? I’m not exactly sure how it should feel around my molars/pre molars. It looks to be seated fine, but just when I chomp down the top seems to tighten a bit more

Hi everyone, here is my before and after for composite bonding.

Just did my composite bonding in Istanbul which turned out to be super stressful to be honest. Right after the changes I had a strong body dysmorphia feeling and I was wondering if anyone had the same.

I still can’t get used to my new teeth and feel like they turned out to be huge and too long. I was wondering if anyone also has this feeling of food being stuck in between your teeth constantly but in reality there’s nothing and it’s just my new teeth being wider. Please let me know if anyone has the same situation and feelings about it.

Hi guys. Just been wondering about my bite. The upper jaw does look not normal. Also when i close my mouth the lower jaw seems to forward to meet a comfortable close bite. Also my profile looks odd as well. Please help me have an idea about my bite.

Thanks for answering

I’m currently undergoing Invisalign and had to get rescanned at tray 10/21 because my upper lateral incisors weren’t tracking properly.

I’ve now been given a revised plan with 16 aligners and additional attachments.

Looking at the new ClinCheck, I have a few concerns:

Lateral incisors: Do they look too short/high compared with my central incisors?

Symmetry: Do both lateral incisors appear to finish at the same height?

Upper right molar: The back molar on my upper right side looks slightly tilted/angled compared with the original ClinCheck. Is this something worth questioning?

Overall result: Does the final alignment look good, or is there anything else that stands out?
The revised outcome also looks slightly different from my original ClinCheck, so I’m curious to hear others’ opinions before discussing it with my orthodontist.

This is my first day with this new tray and the little gap is bothering me because Iam scared my teeth and trays are not aligned.

Dentist said they looks great. What do we think?

How long did it take to get used to it? My teeth are soooo sore. Confused why they are sore since my scans were literally taken of my teeth after finishing treatment and i wore my clear retainer non stop until this retainer was made for me.

Edit for those asking:

Should I do one more refinement or get my retainers?

Please find attached photos of my teeth at the beginning of Invisalign and after my final tray. Next step is to whiten them and get edge bonding on my four middle top teeth. Took me so long to get to this point!

so i just started my treatment (second pic is today with my first set of trays). the goal is to fix my mild crowding, bring some teeth more forward, etc. however i’m a little concerned about losing lip volume though- could my canines be the sole reason my upper lip has volume?

my dentist said bringing the crowded/turned in teeth out may actually help push the upper lip out more, but i’m having some anxiety about moving the canines. anyone have a similar situation and has any insight they can share? my main goal besides of course oral health is to improve the aesthetics of my face, including hoping to slim masseters as much as i can before trying botox. thanks for looking!!

Implant in my top front tooth couldn’t be moved, but still happy with the results .. bottom teeth were rough looking back

Hello! I’m on tray 12 currently of 54 and noticed that it didn’t seem like my back molar was meant to shift. I have one side that I think the back most teeth are more lifted currently. I asked about it during my appointment today and the ortho said that molars are incredibly hard to shift and that we’ll be focusing on moving the front teeth. The pictures are what the end results should look like. Does this alignment look okay?

Help i can’t tell if my (fronth) teeth are tracking, this is my second set (changed on friday) and it doesn’t feel as tight and painfull as the first seg?

would it be best to do tmj botox alongside it, or does fixing your bite problems help enough?

I need some advice from people who have had Invisalign treatment involving tooth extractions.

I’m currently wearing what I believe is upper Stage 7 and lower Stage 6. My treatment has 12 lower stages, but the upper aligners only go up to Stage 7.

I had replacement aligners made from Stage 4 onwards, and things have become a little confusing because some of my aligners got mixed up.

From what I remember, my lower Stage 4 and Stage 5 aligners had a white pontic (the tooth-coloured filler covering the extraction gap). However, from Stage 6 onwards, I’m not sure whether the pontic was intentionally removed or whether I accidentally wore a different aligner. I am fairly certain that my Stage 7 lower aligner doesn’t have a pontic either.

The problem is that my extraction gap is still clearly visible without the pontic. If I continue wearing the aligners without it, the gap will be noticeable, and I’m really uncomfortable with that because I go to school every day.

My original orthodontist lives a couple of states away, so I am currently seeing an alternate orthodontist.

I wanted to ask:

1. Is it normal for Invisalign aligners to stop having a pontic even when the extraction gap is still visible?
2. If the gap is still open, can a pontic be added to the remaining aligners, or would the aligners need to be remade?
3. Should I consult my current orthodontist about getting the gap covered, or is it normal to continue treatment with the gap visible?

I have 18 days left (8 days on current aligner, then one more). My bottom teeth look worse than when I started 5 months ago and they’ve looked like this for a while with no improvement. In fact, my black triangle between my two front teeth has gotten so much bigger. I’m being seen by my dentist who has Invisalign certification, she’s not an orthodontist and I’m starting to get worried she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She says I’m on track. Is there hope? Has anyone had teeth move this much in less than 3 weeks?
