Hi! My son has a crossbite (mild posterior one - about 3 mm) and our orthodontist wants to use rubber bands on his Invisalign aligners to correct it. The problem is he has a perfect upper midline and the bands will shift it off center. I really don't want to do this! What other ideas/options are there? He is about 5 months into treatment (total time is 18-24 months).
Usually getting the posterior bite correct fully is much better functionally than having the midline off a tiny bit. Make sure to talk with your orthodontist and see if this is the case.
it's very common,, in many cases, the natural size of the upper and lower teeth do not allow for a perfect midline. however even with a perfect back bite of the teeth studies show that a midline that is perfect is not always the case in the front. Studies also show that it's only a esthetic thing and not a functional thing in most cases. Also further research shows that the midline descrpancy has to be off more then 3mm to even notice it in the general public. hope this helps
Hello, I opted out of IPR for my treatment. My orthodontist said there would be some imperfections. I basically wanted the best teeth I can have while having the original size of my teeth. In addition to what my orthodontist said, are there other things I should be wary of?
Hi doctor! I have like a jaw slightly more to the right + bottom teeth crowding, and so my dentist is suggesting correcting my midline and crowding by shifting the teeth using Invisalign (since I don't really want to have surgery on my jaw) and removing my bottom wisdom teeth to give the teeth space to move. Is this a standard kind of procedure for something like this?
What is your thoughts on smile direct club? I have a slight midline misalignment, and my two top canine teeth are right over my two bottom canine teeth versus right in between the canine in the back to how it should be. Would SmileDirectClub Invisalign be able to fix this?
I got my braces 8 months ago then my ortho remove my first premolar only so I got mid line shifted Now the orthodontist doesn't care about opinion well and he doesn't even listen My chewing also change😭 upper teeth ending landed in the middle of lower teeth it's so painful 😖😖😣😣😣
In a crossbite, is it possible for the midline on the UPPER jaw to be shifted/moved to the left or right in order to align it with the midline of the lower jaw? Or does the lower always move to match the upper?
It all depends on the reason for a Crossbite and if it’s a tooth only Crossbite or a skeletal Crossbite and if the jaw on the lower has compensated or grown to one side because it wasn’t corrected during growth or if it’s because of missing tooth, etc. the best thing to do is have the orthodontist take a look.
This video and explanation is so helpful! Thank you for your time making this!
Your welcome.

What do you think of a midline still off after braces?

As long as there is not a significant bite issue from not doing it, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

sounds like your case may be more complex then you may think, I would have an orthodontist look at it, not just your dentist.
@@PaulsonOrtho thanks for your feedback. I already started my Invisalign treatment with an orthodontist!
@claudiasc5871 how does invisalign fix your midline if it's just a invisible thing that goes over your teeth

I would stay clear of home treatments , and go directly to an orthodontist.
