Hello guys.
New member here. So I'm about to get Invisalign. My starting situation isn't too bad. I have got a couple of crooked teeth and a second-class malocclusion that - as far as I can tell - doesn't show up as a recessed chin in my face. Now, I have been to five orthodontists to get their opinions. Two said I should just go for Invisalign lite, straighten my teeth and leave the malocclusion alone. One said that's up to me and two said they would only give me the full package, extracting my wisdom teeth and fixing the malocclusion. I don't know shit about orthodontics, but I'm in my early 30s and it doesn't seem to be worth it to work on my bite. Also, I have heard that taking out teeth can change the shape of your face, and I wouldn't like that. ( I admit I don't understand why - wouldn't correcting my overbite give me a better jaw?) For all the above, and also because I am not made of money, I'd go for Invisalign lite. I'll post some pictures. As you can see my sides are pretty narrow and I have got two crooked teeth in the front. My bottom teeth are alright. What do you think? Let me clarify I'm speaking primarily about aesthetics.
