The lower one was straight after 2 months the top alot longer but is straight now. The problem now is all my front bottom teeth have leaned to the right and raised on the l...

At first he did say just removing one would move my midline over but that was before he saw my x-ray and realised my back 4 teeth had been pulled in the past (2nd from back now) so that should not effect my midline and if he removed both premolers he wudn't be able to close the gap on one side fully...

Had a consultation with an orthodontist but i'm not sure what to make of it. My problem is my second upper right tooth bites behind my lower teeth and the only way he can my space is to remove a premoler which he said is the only way, when i asked if my back teeth could be pushed outward towards my ...

littlered, i have pretty much the same problem with my teeth, can you tell me why you opted for metal rather than ceramic braces?

I live in the north west of England and i'v been ringing around various orthodontists to see what they charge for ceramic braces, the cheapest quote i got was £2800 for upper and lower. Is there any places that people know of where they will do them for cheaper? Thanks.
