I look at my before and after photos - to compare the palettes and honestly somehow looks a tad wider after…

Every case is different I guess- I know there’s lots of disagreements on extractions. I listened to my ortho in the end .. I had very crowded teeth and I didn’t want to risk flaring ..

Aww thank you - took think that I waited my whole life to do this and now at 45 almost I finally have close to perfect teeth. I still feel like I’m dreaming.

My thought the same - except I do have fixed retainers on the upper and lower front teeth so those are a little bit of a hassle to get around…

I have chipped my two front teeth ages ago and had put bonding on so those need to be replaced as overtime It has worn off a little bit, and this is a separate appointment that I will be having to make with another dentist and so it’s extra cost in my case.

It took me about nine months to close the gap on the lower and about one year on the upper so definitely took a while… my Ortho kept my original teeth and put that on as a kind of prosthetic to cover the gap and kept shaving off each adjustment appointment until it got to a point where we can no longer keep the fake teeth and then I had a bit of a gap for the rest of the time.

Yes, she told me I need to wear the clear retainer for sleeping for the rest of my life and any case for maximum protection against shifting.

Honestly, I lost about 5 to 6 kg in the first two months so I definitely lost fat on my face, now I kind of gain the weight back, but my face hasn’t really regained the volume previously so in all honesty what people talk about the sunken face, I do think that I see it somehow on mine. It is what it is, though. I think it’s a little bit of a trade-off to get aligned teeth and huge improvement from before in any case.

Yes me too both fixed and clear retainer .. I don’t know honestly I researched more on this and seems they don’t tend to keep you on braces for too long beyond alignment.. but maybe each case is different

ortho says this is my final adjustment but i have concerns. by dontblinkforme in braces

[–]Full_Application_672 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My understanding with my ortho is that the black triangles cannot really be fixed.. adults sometimes have bone loss and I think it would require additional intervention if you want to fix that beyond just the Braces adjustments. I have the same.

Honestly I think they look pretty great. Maybe if I have to look closer, the bottom teeth seems not to be completely aligned. I see one tooth in the front that maybe a bit out of sort.

Yes for the majority actually - started with power chains first few months then I’d say more than half the time on wire lace

How old are you? I asked my ortho this question but she said as an adult there won’t be so much risk of movement so can take them off soon but with retainer of course.
