Good to know, Thanks

I appreciate everyones comments! I was really worried that I was loosing the "toothiness" of my smiles. But I guess sinces theres a band with black elastics on it, it'll be hard to see my teeth! I'm just ready for these braces to come off now.

Hello everyone. This is a question for those who got their braces off already. Right now I really like my lip profile. Will that change once that brackets come off? I'm curious to know if the extra few mm from the brackets help support your lip profile while they're on. Thanks!

So i had 4 extractions and almost done with the closing of space from them. I told my ortho I want to reverse some of the retraction with of the front teeth and bring my teeth slightly more forward, i'm talking like 2-3mm. She said that it was impossible without jaw surgery but she could angle the t...

Ok 4 premolars. But your smile is very nice and nobody can guess that you've had 4 extractions. Even if I am very happy with my results on the whole facial profile (I was treated with my 4 first premolars extracted because of bimax protrusion and lip incompetence what I dont regret), I would prefer...

I thought your results look very nice too. I'm not sure what you meant by you are hesitating because your ortho brushed aside your desire to bring your molars forward. What is it about your profile/smile that you are unhappy about currently? It would be good to think about exactly what kind of end ...

Not really, I still have the same profile in my lips.

Your results seems very nice for me. You may still wear some rubber bands to achieve a perfect occlusion. Why do you hesitate? How many and which premolars had you extracted? You don't have to think that 4 extractions are always a bad solution. It depends a lot of your face structure. [/quote] Final...

I just feel my teeth are too far back when I smile, it could be something that i could live with. Also, not sure if its just my brain seeing it but it almost looks like my face caves in more when i smile.

Hello all, I was wondering if it was possible to reverse the retraction of the front teeth and then bring all the teeth forward instead of getting implants in. Is this something that's even possible?

Did your ortho put you on power chains to push your front teeth back? Yes, he did. I am curious why do you ask? Could it be that the power chain caused the backward slant? I'm not sure if the power chain could cause a backward slant like that. I know that the ortho could have your teeth point outwa...

Hello all. 2 Years have passed since my braces have been put on. I went with the choice of extractions because I didn't know better and i visited 4 different orthos and they all said they would extract. I feel like my teeth have been pushed in as a result of the braces. I liked how my teeth were bef...
