Q.
Hi, I’ve had two bouts of orthodontic treatment, the first one in 1996-1997 and then another one in 1999-2000. I started off with gappy teeth, and the first treatment closed all the gaps. But a mistake was made and the whole upper set of teeth were pushed backwards into the mouth…. So the second treatment was to pull them back forward. The end result was straight teeth, but the bite is not quite right (half a tooth’s length out of sync) but more annoyingly for me, I strongly believe that my front two top teeth are still embedded in the gum just a little too much than when they first started out prior to 1996 (their natural state). It hinders my speech a bit, pronouncing the letter ‘S’ is difficult because there is not enough room behind the front teeth for the tongue to hit, and I feel that drawing the teeth between 0.5mm and 1mm out of the gum would improve my speech tremendously. Can Invisalign do this? You help would be greatly appreciated; thanks.,
