I think you should visit a dentist and get the treatment done. It should be done under the guidance of dentist only. Not at home visits. Its easier set and done. But dentists are the people who can help give you proper results then only relying on companies. For allignment of teeth. Dentist study for more then 10 years. To give thier patients reliable and trustworthy treatment. Kindly visit a dentist nearby and get proper guidance for invisible braces.

Hello
this is an extremely difficult question to answer without photographs or a physical visit. The amount of protrusion, flaring, overlap of teeth etc need to be measured and this decides if only orthodontic treatment will help or will surgical correction be required. Please contact your nearest orthodontist.

Hello lybrate-user, sorry to hear the difficulty you are facing. I would suggest you to visit the earlier dentist who had your teeth removed and tell him what the new dentist has told you and continue your treatment from the doctor who got your teeth removed. Braces treatment varies between dentists. Just make sure you do not face the problems that you where informed, if your starting to face inform the treating dentist and they will treat it.

Hello lybrate-user. Retainers can be fixed too. It's not necessary you will need a removable retainer. Which retainer you will need will depend upon your case. Even when we give removable retainer to stabilize the teeth, is stopped after 6 months or a year. But if the patient's teeth start to move again after stopping retainer, then the patient needs to wear it again. Fixed retainers are invisible & are bonded on the teeth from inside.
