Im disappointed with result of invisable braces can you advice?
Q. Hi Dr Glaister, Iv have come to the end of my treatment with invisalign and not that happy with the results. My dentist advised me to have a mental brace on the top to bring my two side teeth down. The bottom ones are lovely and straight. The top have straightened too but im disapointed as iv paid alot of money for ‘invisable’ braces and now need to ‘ugly betty’ style for 2-3months. very shallow i know but hey… this is the world we live in. id be so greatful to hear back from you.
A. Hi,
I can understand why you would not want to wear a fixed brace but it is not unusual for some invisilign cases to be finished with a fixed brace. If Invisilign has taken you as far as you can go then you now are left with two options, leave your teeth as they are or wear a fixed brace to pefect the end result. Ask you dentist if lingual braces (braces fixed to the back of your teeth) or even white braces can be fitted for you instead of the standard ‘ugly betty’ looking ones to make the process more managable for you.
Kind regards
Dr Justin Glaister
