Undoing Straightened Teeth: Dissatisfied with Outcome?

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had braces to address crowded teeth, and my teeth were straightened without the need for tooth extraction, considering my straight profile. However, I am not satisfied with the results, and I am aware that my face is not suitable for extractions. Is it possible to rotate the straightened teeth back to their original position? Please inform me.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

You can achieve the desired outcome again by going through the same process. However, it is advisable not to experiment further if your bite is already stable, as it may affect the tooth root. If your concerns can be addressed with minor cosmetic treatments, it is recommended to pursue that option. In orthodontics, Invisalign is considered the best choice.

 

Thanks
