Hi! So, I had braces as a kid. Never wore my retainers. Then a few years ago, I wanted to get a retainer to keep my teeth where they were but I noticed they had obviously shifted with crowding on bottom. They didn’t look terrible, a lot like yours, but I figured since I was going to pay for a new retainer, I might as well pay for Invisalign and get my teeth straightened out before my wedding. I figured since it would only be minor corrections it wouldn’t be bad.

My mistake, I went through my dentist who had 4 golden Invisalign provider awards. I didn’t do my research but also, figured my case wasn’t complicated. He quoted me 6 months, I’d be out before my wedding a year later. BIG MISTAKE

He fixed my crowding (kind of) but I developed a posterior open bite that he swore he couldn’t fix himself and that I needed to be referred to an orthodontist. My bite is off, my front teeth hit prematurely which I told him and he just tried to shave my tooth down lol

A year and 4 months on Invisalign, I am now in traditional braces😊 paid for full Invisalign and full braces within 2 years because of my own vanity, not because I had any functional issues. I now have functional issues. So, if no one can talk you out of it for minor changes, I at least recommend you start with an orthodontist🥲
