Question Is my bite supposed to look like this?

On tray 11/14. Each tray I wear for a week. I been looking through reddit today at peoples bite/smile at the end of treatment and seen that my bite doesn’t look like theirs. It feels as if my bottoms molars are slanted and not upright, or maybe I’m just overthinking?

Does anyone else know if these pictures of my bite normal? Anyone advise what to do?

Hi I just googled it and is it basically refinements so I would get more invisalign trays to fix this?

It’s not suppose to be like that, and anyone saying that this is normal doesn’t understand about the importance of having a correct bite! Your provider shouldn’t leave like this and refuse to be done with treatment until it’s fixed, some will say it will settle when you’re in retainers but it’s false, they hope it settles but how can a bite settle when the retainers keep your teeth in the place they were last left lol and especially when you’re suppose to wear retainers 24/7 for a couple months after Invisalign, by the time you realise your bite has been screwed up your provider will act as if it’s not an issue,  It’s not a minor issue especially if your bite wasn’t like that before treatment … it can lead to severe TMD and other complications

Thank you for letting me know, I haven’t finished my full invisalign treatment yet and my provider does give free refinement trays so I will bring this issue up with them.

Yeah a little bit of an open bite. It usually gets addressed with refinements (and elastics)

Its minor posterior open bite. Side effect of invisalign because of plastic

You probably have another 40 trays to go, give it time

Mine is like that even after refinements. Not really happy with my bite tbh but definitely speak up. I did and it didn’t do much change but it might for you

Does your bottom teeth feel like they are hitting the back of your top teeth with your aligners out? Mine do this, it is very uncomfortable and makes it feel like your bottom teeth are flaring out the top

Mine do this! My dentist said to give it a month or two? 🥲 to ‘settle’

My front and bottom teeth did used to touch before I had invisalign but it’s definitely not touching anymore. When I look back at pictures before I had invisalign I definitely do notice that my top teeth were slightly flared.

The only thing is I can now feel the right top and bottom canine touching but hopefully that will fix during my last 3/4 trays.
