unfortunatly i took my braces off with tweezers

Q. Hello Dr. Suri.I had braces when i was 13(5 years ago). unfortunatly i took them off with tweezers. Many times i had wore them with many brackets that pop’d out my teeth.I also never wore aligners..i’ve notice how my face change during puberty has my motuh seem’d open even when close, and how i was very unhappy how my face seemed to sink.so last 9 months i’ve recieve my invisalign express aligners, thus my orthodontist said my teeth were in good condition, i wanted to finsh what i started. now i’m on my last set of aligners, im extremly unhappy & uncomfortable how my teeth feel and how my mouth looks as if its been pushed back. My question is if i get braces again, would it push my teeth foward or as it was? is there any other appliance that will help on this matter?

A. If you are still unhappy with your teeth and have undergone invisalign I wouldn’t embark on more orthodontic treatment right away. You should leave your teeth to settle n the postion that they are now and review in 6 months time. Orthodontics can only do so much. You may have to consider cosmetic dentistry in the form of veneers to correct your problem
Kind regards
