Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thank you all so, so much for the information. To be honest, I'm angry at my orthodontist for NEVER discussing the overjet with me; I'm guessing he knew it was going to be like this, but he never spoke to me about it and the possibilities while I still had braces. Should I go to another orthodontist...

Oh gosh, the pictures are HUGE. How can I fix ...

Does that mean my bite is "crooked" looking at it straight on?

So, I got my braces off March 11th, almost a month ago. I was not, and still am not, satisfied with my teeth,at all. Besides the way my top teeth stick out, my bite is not symmetrical (the top and bottom teeth don't match up) and there is space in between one side of my bite. I spoke to my ortho whe...

Here's what they look like from the front:

I think that time with braces always feels long. I wore mine from June 18, 2010, to March 11, 2013 and it seemed like forever. Hang in there, you'll be glad you did in the end.

Hello, I got my retainer today, a permanent one on the bottom and one I can take on and off on top. I asked them, and the ortho told me that to move my top teeth back, they would have to pull two teeth from the top and two teeth from the bottom. This would move my lips back, and he said that is why ...

I go every six weeks.

Please talk to your orthodontist! I was not ready to get mine off either and I talked to him. He gave ma bands to fix my issue.

Thank you everyone! I will talk to him on Wednesday. I'm honestly scared to see what will happen, but it doesn't hurt to try!

Hello, So, I got my braces off a few hours ago after nearly three years. I was pretty happy, but I am starting to notice more and more every time I look at my teeth that the top row is sticking out. I look like a chipmunk. I am very angry, but when I asked the ortho assistant she just said something...

Ok! He gave me rubber bands to wear again, one side with wearing them how I usually do, and the other to wear from my canine to my bottom molar (at least I think that's what he said). Hopefully it gets fixed!

Woah! Your teeth look amazing, and it's only been a month! Congrats!

Thank you guys so much for your replies. I talked to my orthodontist, I have an appointment tomorrow, Oct. 12. I'll let you know what what happens!
