Hello, I thought braces are supposed to be straightening my teeth :( 5 months into having braces my teeth are much more crooked then they were before well my front teeth were somewhat aligned before, now the teeth next to my two front teeth have shifted behind the front teeth also something i never ...

i have to pay 300 for mine in new york

june 22nd i get braced

After having visited a total of 7 different orthodontists (yup you got that right seven) i finally made a decision Going to have 12 brackets installed on Tuesday and have three 2nd bicuspids removed with two on top and 1 on the bottom since i have a 2nd molar already removed and they don't want to t...

wondering why they remove 4 bicuspids with such small amount of crowding

some don't have any crowding at all only slightly rotated teeth

uh man hope you get better

Many interesting cases from before and after pictures with somewhat detailed illustration.

I stumbled across this since I will be needing 4 bicuspids extracted and wanted to see how well it worked with others.

do they move your front teeth back at all after extractions or they stay there and everything comes forward

thats what im worried about when i have my bicuspids taken out is if there going to move all my teeth back and ill have like a huge space between my front teeth and my lip

unfortunately the dental school orthodontist wants to wait about 7 months before i have brackets on my front teeth he would like to remove the upper two 1st bicuspids so theres room then bring the 2nd bicuspids into the 1st bicuspids place which takes about two months then move onto the next tooth a...

my orthodontist told me that its 5mm in length which is very tiny and that most people get it installed without even any anesthesia

unfortunately orthodontist #1 doesn't except any kind of insurance and they want a fee of 3,200 dollars which I can pay off monthly for 100 dollars without interest plus 300 dollars for the screw ive calculated in the past if i would get insurance and comes out to almost the same price as going with...

unfortunately my insurance wont pay a penny and I'm on a budget so seems like I'm gonna go with orthodontist #1 the dental school

yup #4 and #5 orthodontist mentioned that keeping all the teeth in may result after having the braces taken off that it may slowly move back into there original crooked form if i do not have extractions with that ortho #4 suggested to have retainer in for 1 full year then 2nd year wear it every nigh...

I should have stayed with my first orthodontist and just believe whatever they tell me and get them done and over with but since they decided to have extractions done with 3 perfectly good teeth got me wondering all started because of this http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb283/gerbilburp/smile.jp...

hey brace face

its kinda hard to tell but was wondering if they brought the front teeth back more or if its in the same position and brought everything forward more

and if they did, did it change your profile at all?

thanks a bunch
