I just got unbraced after 3years. I was not 100% happy with the decsion to take them off but my Ortho said he will correct the remaining issues with a retainer. I feel like his new assistant (ortho) during my follow up visit 2 months ago did something wrong to make my teeth shift into the wrong dire...

I am 2months away to get my braces off but I was able to sneak peak on my front teeth when my ortho took off the brackets, BOY it LOOKED weired. My teeth look Huge. I am worried on how they'll look in 60days

What is the appropriate date range in ortho appointments? My first one is 6weeks apart?

And please help me on how to upload pictures on this website.


Cheers!

Is there anybody here with a story of shifted midline? being braced for a midline asymmetry? I just got clear braces a week ago and I am so anxious about the result. Some however say it is dificult to treat shifted midlines with out extraction.

Your responses will be appreciated.

check them out @ doctoroogle. it gives you doctors with ratings, or Kudzu.com. I found my current ortho on Dr oogle, he's owesome. it is worth the search. I ended up loosing my pre-paid money of $1500 to this crook dentist who misrepresented himself. It was two years ago and I found him on line adve...

Thanks for the replies. Now it makes me feel good to know that things will be better though the exitement weighed more than the food processing stress. My middle line is off almost half a teeth due to extracted canines. My left side shifted all the way to the right filling the space of the extractio...

He suggested I should get implants on a missing lower molar which was a way of him swiping my FlexSpe...

Thanks a million for your opinion! I checked a couple of Websites for the Doctor's Ratings and the best one was on www.droogle.com. And another one is www.Kudzu.com I heard the same opinion for the last few years about my teeth but was afraid to try cosmetic Dentistry. I am going for Braces on the 1...

Thank you for your responses. I will go with Ceramic Braces!! This week but I am terrfied of extracting any of my teeth. Dr j asked where the room was going to come from. Can't the braces shift it all to the orginal place and create a room? I am wondering though if I should go with The Doctor whom I...

Over the past 12 years, my midline shifted way off and is not symmetrical but is not that noticable. The shiffting occured due to a missing right canines. I am so confused with different suggestions from different orthodontists. I had someone tell me I can only correct it through cosmetic dentistry ...
