Metal Mouth Message Board

I’m looking at this too. Seems like a direct approach with predictable results but a little uncomfortable with all the hardware. I am looking for a doctor in the LA area who does this.

Can you please tell me how Invisalign is being used to reverse your extractions? Are you having your arch expanded forward and sideways?

Jenim Have you found any success with your daughter? I would pm you but for some reason I am not able to
