I did talk to my ortho and he compared my before pic and told me I do look different but that it's probably due to my weight loss. (I've been thinner before and my face didn't look like this). I told him that gained the weight back and my face still appears the same. He tried to make me feel like I ...

I did have a bottom front tooth removed but both my ortho and my dentist said this wouldn't affect my facial structure. My ortho told me that all he is doing is straightening my teeth and not changing my bite. I don't like the change in my face, I HATE it. Had I known this would have happened I woul...
