Need your input - should I move central upper incisors down?

#1 Post by LittleSern »

I'm weeks away from debracing and we are just doing the final touches. We took pictures today to see what we want to change. We decided to move my canines a tiny bit up to see if that address the concerns I have with my smile arc (I feel like it is a bit too flat). I'm still thinking I might want to move my front two teeth (upper maxillary central incisors) down a tiny bit. What do you think?

I also feel like my front two teeth look so much smaller than they did earlier in treatment - he said it's because of the gums swelling should go down after the braces come off.

My smile now:

Since we took more pics today, I put together before and current pics for comparison.

Middle: Day braces were put on

Left is before, right is current

You need to take a pic of you smiling, so we can judge

It depends a bit on your image or how you want to come across, like this you will look older, more mature, confident and powerful with slightly longer central incisors you will appear younger and more feminine
