I did a search for teeth whitening, and nothing came up.


Has anyone had any whitening procedures performed? I'm considering BriteSmile....as it advertises a more significant whitening (up to 14 shades).

Just to follow up on this thread.... I went to see another ortho (my 2nd, 2nd oppinion). He said the teeth are looking good. I have a class 1 occlusion...which is what its supposed to be. My ortho did a fine job.....so further ortho treatment isnt necessary. In terms of the cosmetic issues with my t...

I just want to thank everyone for posting. I'm glad that I'm not crazy, because my parents don't "believe" me. Additionally, the look on the receptionist's face was priceless, and totally revealing of how the teeth look. She said, "Let me see them! You got them off! Smile!" I smi...

I got my braces off. I was told my treatment was complete. I assumed my teeth were going to look nice, but I wasnt given a mirror, or anything. I'm told my teeth are going to "settle", but I think that's a bunch of horsepoo. My retainers are constructed so that the teeth look not an ounce ...

For example, if you were to take a line from the middle of your chin, and draw it to the back of your throat, should all of your teeth line up...

Hello. My braces are being removed the next time I go to see the ortho (2 weeks), and I'm not happy with the way my teeth look now. I really tried my best to take a picture, so please bare with it. Im satisfied with the way the tops look, but to me, the bottoms look lopsided and uneven (specifically...

Hello. This is sort of a follow up to another thread, about my braces being removed the next time I go to see the ortho (2 weeks), and my discontent with the way my teeth look now.

Hello. My ortho has notified me it's time for my braces to come off. However my bottom teeth aren't yet straight in the front. The right side on the bottoms is especially of concern to me, because the "fang tooth" is not yet in "place", and my teeth are not meeting in the back on...
