So I approached my dentist to ask for invisalign on my bottom teeth which have some crowding issues, but he convinced me fastbraces would be a better option and now I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into.

My main concerns are basically my bite, I have a slight overbite at the moment, but how fastbraces have been explained to me is that they push the teeth forward a little to provide more space, I am TERRIFIED that I'll end up with an underbite! I'd rather have wonky crowded teeth than an underbite which will need more braces to fix.

My dentist didn't make me feel any better when I questioned him about this, he told me it can happen but it was unlikely (this made me panic so much he refused to put the brace in and told me to go home and have a think about it, but there's nothing I can do anyway now, I already paid prior to this so I have to have it fitted at some point).

I've also discovered that I might get slight gum recession, but he told me this happens with any sort of braces, is this true?


I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find any information on fast braces what so ever, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm not really fmailiar with these type of braces but I feel like if you are concerned you should still be able to get your money back if you do not want to start the procedure. Explain your concerns and explain why it is you do not want to go thru with it.

I cannot get the deposit back that I put down, which covered the cost of making the braces.
Considering that it seems worth a try as I need to do something about my bottom teeth, I am just terrified that it will go wrong and I wont be able to afford to fix it.
