i just took these tonight from all angles. see how my top front tooth on the side with my lipring is totally slanted and looks horrible? how did this happen? ever since i wore the rubber bands it did this. please look these over and tell me what you notice about the faults because i probably am missing some. i know my teeth are not ready to have my braces taken off. i am so angry at the very end they suddenly get crooked?

then, when i bite down, do you see the space between the top and bottom teeth when they are supposed to all come together? what is with that??? it has semi-closed since i wore these new rubber bands, but just made my top front teeth crooked.

and my bottom teeth, see how crowded they are? it looks hideous. can filing them down change it at all? won't they just look even worse and SHORT?

i personally am appauled because my teeth looked fine a couple months ago. the only good thing is my arch, probably. and i had an expander forever just to get that. i hate this. i can't stop obsessing over it. something is just very off and i can't figure out what it is..

hopefully this gives you guys more insight on my situation and how i could possibly fix it. i can't stop crying about it :( i'm such a drama queen but everybody notices the crookedness when i ask about it..

did i like, wear my rubber bands wrong or something?

Something deffinately looks a bit off there, not to make you feel more self-concious about it, but obviously get it dealt with now

To me it almost looks like the ortho didn't line up the brackets on your teeth properly, and now your top arch looks sort of, slanted

But that's just a guess right off the bat

They look very good, but definately not perfect. Ortho should be able to fix all the minor inperfections..

Well the pictures are not very clear at all. You need a digital camera with macro option.

Anyway, to me that tooth near your piercing just looks like it needs to be leveled. They do this by grinding down the spot that (in this case) is too low. Other than that you teeth look great!

You have gorgeous shape to your teeth, and I honestly think if my teeth looked like that i would be positively thrilled. Don't be upset, you have gorgeous teeth and i'm sure if youre persistent you'll get the little things fixed and end up with teeth you'll love.

People dont stare into your mouth and notice tiny imperfections, when i look at your teeth i see beautiful white teeth that are all lined up-seriously.

Have a happy holiday, dont stress yourself out over this..be persistent and talk to your ortho, stressing yourself out isnt gonna fix the little things that are bothering you!

I have some heartburn over that one front tooth that looks a little off. Go to another ortho see what they say. Cause i would not be satisfied with that. I didn't read your post until after i posted this statement, and i could tell that tooth was not right before you pointed it out.

That one front tooth deffinately doesn't look right to me, almost like it's tilted inwards

People may not notice it, but you're paying what probobly 5grand for this, I wouldn't (and won't) settle for anything short of perfection, or as absolutely close to perfection as they can get it.

So the only thing you guys really notice is the front one that is completely off center, right? I'm just going to say that I still want all the small spaces when I bite down closed and that one tooth in front in place and for my bottoms and top to be leveled out. Hopefully that can all be done within a month if I wear my rubber bands always..

Oh, are the elastics used to close those gaps at the sides between the teeth? Im fairly new to being braced and have gaps at the side, much larger than yours. Are elastics effective? How long did you wear them for? Can you speak with them?

Many Thanks

Yeah that is the only thing that really stands out to me. And honestly i feel if you have them taken off it will look like you never had them in the first place. Otherwise your teeth look great.
