Yay! I will be getting mine off the end of this year! I can't wait, but I still will NEVER have perfect smile. I have uneven gumline. Not gummy but uneven. They are high on some parts & low on some. :( I hate how unsymmetrical my smile is too! The left side slants upwards while the right side s...

I'm 15 now turning 16 this October. I got my braces over a year ago! I CAN'T WAIT to get my braces off the end of this year. My twin got her braces off last month!

oh thanks everyone for your answers. I will definitely check with my ortho! My next appointment for a retainer review is next month so yeah. Hope they can fix my bite! But will I need braces again? Or will they be able to fix it with a hawley retainer?

Here are pictures of my teeth without braces. http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2943/flash.png http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/618/flash2.png I know they look just fine here but I took these pics with flash. http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6185/wflash.png http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5149/w...

Nahh she doesn't look concerned at all. Its probably me just being paranoid but what I'm sure is that I have an imperfect bite. I will include a picture of my teeth later.

They were already there on the day my braces were off.

Depending on the severity of your case, I suppose that a slightly imperfect bite would be understandable. But, if your bite has shifted significantly since getting the braces off, then I would assume that your retainers need adjusting. Perhaps your orthodontist can use Hawley retainers to help adju...

Is it normal that when you get your braces off and your bite isn't perfect like your upper teeth and your lower teeth don't meet together perfectly? If you know what I mean. I'm kind of disappointed with the results that braces gave me

I've always hated glasses because I have a pretty narrow face & all glasses seem to look big on me. I have 4 different kinds. Rimless, full framed etc. I used to only wear it in class at school. But at the end, I chose contact lens. I wear contacts right now & only wear my my glasses at home...

None so far. I have only had them for 9 months. 15 more months to go!

Thanks for sharing your pics to the archwired community!

BTW, I love your avatar!!

No idea.. at all?

When I smile, the right side of my corner lips slant downwards but the left side slant upwards. Also, I have dimples and the dimple at my left cheek is deeper than on my right cheek. :oops: I thought it is because I have crossbite but now, I no longer have crossbite (palatal expander for 2 months) a...
