How to maintain the alignment after orthodontic treatment?

Question

Hello doctor,

I had braces before, and the doctor gave me an Invisalign to wear at night when he took off my braces. However, while taking off the braces from my lower front teeth, my three lower front teeth were loose, and since then, I have had a problem eating food or wearing an Invisalign, as it was also painful. Due to this, I was not wearing Invisalign every day, and now my teeth are out of shape, and my crossbite on my right lower teeth alignment is getting worst too. My self-esteem had been down due to all these reasons. Can you please suggest to me what I should do? I heard a lot about jaw surgery and veneers too, but I do not know about the prices and how efficient they are. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You should have worn your clear retainers (they are not Invisalign) for around two years at least so that the teeth can get strong at the correct position. Then, in your current condition, you can go for Invisalign therapy to correct those minor rotations of the front teeth and then continue wearing the last one for a long time. I hope this helps you.

Thank you
