I have a protruding teeth (the 12th one) and a misaligned midline. I have a slightl overbite too.
My dentist thinks that I should go for Invisalign, and by ”polishing” the other teeth in my upper jaw it will give space for the 12th teeth to be pushed down in place. She also suggested rubber bands to push back my upper jaw to make my face more ”harmonious”, by aligning my upper and lower jaw. I asked her if it was possible to make it more harmonious by moving the lower jaw forward somehow, but that wasn’t possible. I know Invisalign is controversial, especially rubber bands because people think that pushing back the maxilla only makes the face more unaesthetic. But I am unsure on how to approach this, I could go through with the Invisalign but skip the rubber band. Please help
