I'm delighted with the result.

My orthodontist said I kept my teeth very clean. I've had them on for 3.5 years.

Very nice.

I am wondering if your ortho did any kind of bonding or some type of teeth reshaping procedure because the shape of all your teeth look very nice and I am hoping my teeth look like that after braces. Problem is the shape of my teeth isn't so great because of being worn down and chipped and my front teeth are huge compared to others, etc.

Congrats to the OP; your chompers look great! :)

Regarding the reshaping, I just got debraced this morning and they did some minor shaving. You'd be surprised at how good your teeth will come out. I wasn't even expecting what I got. After shaving, my teeth looked a lot more polished and "perfect", lol...I chipped one of my front teeth many years ago, so I'd like to have a filling put in, but my orthodontia has taken care of all my other issues.

Thanks guys!! Hmm, I think my teeth have always been that shape. Albeit all over the place. Can't really remember. 2 months later and I'm still delighted, lol. They're still really nice. They're more white now actually. Probably cuz I've been able to brush them properly!!
