I Regret Invisalign 100%, Do You Relate??? I have more issues than before. What do I do?
Granted I wish I had taken very detailed documentation but my teeth are just straight I guess but my enamel appears worse than ever before.
Please stick with me. This is long. Basically all of my teeth are very, very transparent now.
I paid over 5K, and I am not well off by any means. I lost my job and I am actively destroying my credit because I can't make payments. That's on me, but another regret.
I continuously asked if it would help with my narrow palate because I felt like my teeth were crowded and I was continuously assured it would. This was on top of fixing my crooked lower teeth and the crowding there that irritated my tongue. Well, they fixed the crooked teeth but EVERYTHING just got squished inward so now I have more jaw pain. It cause me to move my already recessed lower jaw further back. I feel like I am choking when I have to fully bite down.
Talking is so uncomfortable. I feel like I have a lisp and my "S" is always overly whistling. I also feel like my mouth clicking and tongue noises are worse. There is zero space for my tongue which is something I have complained about consistently.
I only feel comfortable when I have my lower jaw pushed forward, often right in line with or in front of my upper teeth. (Giving myself an underbite but relaxed and not touching)
Having my overjet "corrected" just makes my upper lip curl under more, even at rest. So, my once plump lips look thin and old.
Not to mention I still have a but of swing to the right side when I bite down. My dentist has shaved the teeth down a lot already and I believe that makes the over all crowding feeling worse. Eating feels completely unnatural.
Singing used to be one of the only things that brought me any joy but it is difficult with how my teeth changed. It makes it exhausting and uncomfortable.
If I could reverse everything I would. I am supposed to get my permanent retainer and I haven't due to money and travel. Now I am glad I didn't. I have a comprehensive plan and I am technically still on my last set, but I feel like my dentist doesn't really understand. She is really nice but this is just not working. Any advice, please. I am desperate and tired. Everything in my life is failing and the last thing I needed was to pay money I don't have to worsen my bite.
