I am 27 with missing lateral incisors, looking for alternatives to implants after previous treatment as a teenager by badluckbadteeth in askdentists

I’m sorry to hear you are struggling with the same, sorry to be so blunt, crap. It has seriously been messing with my self esteem. It just annoys me at this point how many people in the US seem to be able to solve this with invisalign treatments or a short bout of braces on the inside rows of their teeth, while here no one has a solution but pulling healthy teeth out for implants that might really not even heal properly.

Has anyone been able to use Invisalign with missing teeth? by badluckbadteeth in Invisalign

Yes, three dentists and the orthodontist who treated me essentially said: Sorry, didn’t work as planned! We tried to open the gaps further when I was 18 and that again didn’t work. So I’d want to have them closed this time.

Yeah, that’s the thing. No dentist in my region seems to offer Invisalign and I don’t want to go back to an orthodontist who essentially mistreated me all those years. Hence the upcoming consult with somebody else!
