So I'm six months in and am happy with my progress so far. Major improvements and changes. One thing I noticed recently is my teeth are tiny. Everyone's pictures have nice long straight teeth that are at least average normal looking by I have these little nubs. all my teeth are on the small side but specifically my front side teeth. Not the two front but the top ones next to my canines are my main concern. I have a small mouth so I assume small teeth go with that but I'm just concerned once they straighten out they will look funny. Anyone have any similar situation? Even your opinion would be great to hear. Thanks.
Looking at the picture you can see the brackets practically cover my entire tooth. I have the Damon brackets as well which are supposedly smaller than typical braces but don't look like it on mine!
I have the opposite reaction....after comparing to other's photos I feel like my teeth are GINORMOUS...especially considering I also have a small mouth!
I think your teeth look all fine, whether a bit small or a little bit big. Some people have smaller teeth, others have bigger teeth, it is just what you are born with and that makes us all unique.
I should show my teeth as they appear now after my last adjustment. We did bracket repositioning on my two front teeth on top and he also shaved the teeth down to make them appear more even. It appears he used smaller brackets than before because it doesn't look like my teeth are completely covered by the brackets. I just hate the appearance of my teeth: I look at people's after pics on here and I doubt my teeth will ever look beautiful after my surgery (in either January or February) and braces are done. Wonder if this is even worth the trouble and pain.
I apologize for how big the picture is but I don't know how to shrink it.
