Suggest Treatment For Tooth Discomfort Post Invisalign Treatment

I have had invisalign. Got them off 6 months ago and since then the results haven't felt good. Teeth look good but I can feel the tips of the bottom of my top 4 teeth on my bottom lip and it totally bothers me when resting. I saw my ortho and he said i have 2mm overjet and that's normal and there's nothing else than can be done. I feel like there must be a way to make my teeth comfortable like possibly tilting my 4 teeth in just a tiny bit. I am posting this in hopes you have an idea what can be done so I don't feel the top teeth on my lip for the rest of my life

Hello,

There is a possibility that still the teeth proclaimed and it can cause the incisal edges to touch the lip. If lower front teeth are also proined, then overjet can be normal but still, there can be discomfort or misalignment.

So my suggestion is to consult an Orthodontist and get evaluated. Proper x rays need to be taken. If there is a scope for improvement, then braces can be placed to let the teeth come in proper alignment.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
