Re: Pretty sure I want to discontinue my braces. PLS HELP!!

Thanks but I don't have the money to go to another orthodontist. The one I am with was recommended and I thought I could trust him. I want to move on by getting them removed. I just need to know what are the chances of them returning to how they were? I preffered them before!

I have also now noticed the mid line (between my front teeth) does not line up whereas it did before. I reali...

Re: PLEASE advise - I'm worried about my teeth since braces.

I corrected this to say Underbite not overbite - but it posted it again. I cannot delete one of the posts. It says I cannot edit or delete my posts at this time?

PLEASE advise - I'm worried about my teeth since braces.

I've had my braces on for almost a year. I'm 39. I started off with an overcrowded bottom set of teeth and a couple of my upper teeth were overlapping each other. I was happy with my profile though, it looked pretty "normal". Now my lower teeth have straightened out I have an underbite whi...
