Several Questions About Straightening My Teeth?
i had regular braces for three years to fix my laterals because they protruded up and out. by the time i got the braces off, all of my upper teeth slanted outwards, and my laterals still looked awkward because they’re rounded from grinding pre-braces. they’ve since gotten worse because i didn’t wear my retainer, it didn’t fit and was uncomfortably tight and made my gums bleed–but my orthodontist tightened it when i complain that it didn’t fit right. they look almost the same as they did before the braces, except now my two front teeth are slightly misaligned and my bottom teeth are crooked too, and i have an overbite. i really want to fix my teeth. I’m fifteen and they really affect my life and I’m just…unbelievable conscious about them.
so, one, will invisalign be able to fix this? because if braces aren’t necessary then it would be great if i don’t have to have to have metal mouth haha.
and two, should i get veneers on my laterals and then braces? because they’re rounded, i don’t think they’re ever going to look ‘right’.

First of all, you should consult your dentist.
If you still have an overbite due to protrusion, you should ask your dentist about having some premolars extracted and wearing invisalign or braces again to push those teeth inside.
I think you should get a new dentist, why did he tighten it when your problem was overcrowding?
Yes, the invisalign should be able to fix that but check with your orthodontist. The invisalign are a big responsibility my brother has them and you can only have them out two hours a day to eat and brush your teeth. Plus, you have to brush your teeth after every meal so the invisalign dosent keep in bacteria.
And, see how things turn out before you get veneers becuase they’re expensive as well as the invisalign.
