Message: [QUOTE="GettingInvisalignSoon29, post: 134991, member: 18601"] Hi everyone, I had braces roughly 10 years ago. The result is overall great: bite is normal (no overbite or overjet), no spaces between teeth, smile looks great. Only issue is that while my upper and lower arches are aligned with each other, they are not aligned with my the midlines of my lips - i.e. both arches are skewed a couple mm to the side. I was offered an Invisalign plan; however, the orthodontist is not looking to use TADs for the retreatment. When I spoke to my previous orthodontist (the one from 10 years ago), he told me that the Invisalign plan looks good, but that without TADs it'd be very difficult to correct the midline discrepancy. In other words, some sort of anchorage is necessary in order to pull the arches and correct the 'skewness' / asymmetry / discrepancy (sorry, I'm not an expert when it comes to using the right medical terms). I am not sure why the current orthodontist doesn't include TADs in the plan. I understand that he doesn't want to worsen my already-pretty-good-and-satisfactory condition, but can this plan work without TADs? *I've gone to a couple of consultations. I would appreciate your insights and expertise as I need to make a decision and want to make the best decision for me. Thank you very much! [/QUOTE]
