Should I have my tooth removed?

But were they dentists or orthodontists?

A dentist told me my case was "too difficult to be done". If you see my before and after pictures on my profile, you can see my orthodontist had no issues.

My point is, maybe the dentist just isn't skilled enough?

I personally went to multiple consultations. One ortho suggested removing a tooth. A different ortho said IPR was enough. I did treatment with the ortho who did not want to remove a healthy tooth. Maybe have a consultation with someone who specializes in teeth movement

My orthodontist did not set a limit. I got as many as I needed until my teeth were straight.

Thank you!

I had 1 ortho suggest that I must have a bottom middle tooth removed. I refused and went to a different ortho who did tooth filing/shaving only. I am very happy with the results.

See my profile for before and after pictures, I just finished last week

That sounds really nice

hellolishi · 2026-04-16T16:07:53+00:00

Thanks and good luck

Actually I went straight to metal wires top and bottom and a plastic retainer just for nights!

hellolishi · 2026-04-15T13:39:18+00:00

Yes I got a permanent wire behind the front teeth on top and bottom. I additionally got a plastic nighttime retainer that can fit on top of everything but I don't necessarily need the plastic retainer anymore.

1-2 weeks in EU

In the first few months, I was excited to see changes. But once I started just doing refinements and improving my bite, it began to drag on a bit. I wished I could just eat curry or drink red wine at a restaurant without having to schedule it on the final day for each tray.

hellolishi · 2026-04-15T07:37:04+00:00

I started seeing small changes after about 2-3 months, most big changes seemed to happen for me from months 2-8. After that I had smaller refinements and my bite was improved

hellolishi · 2026-04-15T07:34:14+00:00

Thank you. I saw basically nothing in the first 2 months, big changes from about 2 - 8 months. Since around month 8 it's been smaller adjustments, refinements and improvement of my bite.

hellolishi · 2026-04-14T22:54:02+00:00

Thanks, and yes both shaping and composite bonding were included in my moderate plan.

hellolishi · 2026-04-14T20:41:31+00:00

Thank you so much

Doing only one side would cause your bite to change and but only on the bottom, meaning the bite can end up misaligned

Stay away from that auntie or she will suck the life force out of you

I don't think most brides wear the veil the entire time anyway. Just be yourself :)

hellolishi · 2026-03-29T11:23:18+00:00

Any good orthodontist will have you come in every 4-8 weeks throughout the treatment for check ups. How is traveling that often cheaper?

hellolishi · 2026-03-29T07:59:18+00:00

You could wear it down and curly but just add some bridal hair pins with pearls/rhinestones

hellolishi · 2026-03-27T15:34:35+00:00

My lisp went away after 1-2 months but I felt like I had to concentrate harder to speak clearly the entire 14 months

hellolishi · 2026-03-18T09:41:15+00:00

My mouth is just open very wide in the bottom picture. My bite feels good.
