JESSIE2099 I am 32 & have started the ball rolling for my braces (I have posted my story so far on here) I just have to get my deposit together. I have a dilemma in that I have just been asked to be bridesmaid for a close friend (the only one she is having) but I have wanted this too long to put...

Well, thinking about it, it figures that it would be off at some point as the teeth are moving but fingers crossed it goes back. I'm sure ortho's want the best result and will work to fix it. I am going back in 2 weeks to see the models of my simulation she is doing for me so I will ask then. Thanks...

Oh, I didn't realise that Does it get corrected? Will it go back to normal?

Can I ask, were you mid lines off before you started treatment or did the braces cause it?
My mid line is perfectly fine - I am hoping braces won't change that?

Oh Dust I am sorry you have had such a rotten experience. Is there anyway you can put a complaint into a governing body about him or perhaps court action to try to regain some money back and be able to recoup some costs and get the problems fixed elsewhere?

Well, this is an issue that I have been thinking about.

My Ortho hasn't mentioned I will need elastics when I start treatment but should the need arise how long do they have to stay on for?

Thanks for the welcomes guys and rejunebug, we look like we will be around the same time line so I look forward to chatting! I am still toying with the idea of the simulation - half of me figures well they can't look any worse but the other half wants to get an idea! I have kind of fangs, they're no...

Hi all, After a bit of lurking (oops) I have finally registered as my treatment is going to get under way soon hopefully. I had my consultation and I will be having 2 upper pre-molar extractions and then upper and lower ceramic with tooth coloured wire to start. My ortho will be using INVU which I h...
