Hi, yes the midline was already off. It was too much work trying to centre it.

Any other opinions?

Hi, a number of years ago I had braces. Despite wearing my retainer every night, a tad bit of relapse has occurred. These past few days I've been considering getting invisalign maybe the express version if I can get it for cheap enough, maybe £2000 or less. I've also upload some of my before and aft...

Can invisalign move teeth up and down from the gum?

Also if you decide to get braces for a second time from a different ortho would there records show that I had my 1st treatment at X ortho?

Think its just acid erosion, my ortho just shaved some of it off.

I keep asking my ortho to place a bend in the wire to pull a tooth out, he seems very reluctant to do this. Why would he be reluctant?

Why are my back lower molars like 1-2mm higher than the other teeth, they didnt used to be like that? They are not banded, could it be my impacted wisdom teeth that is causing this?

What difference does it make when a powerchain is placed either in front or behind the arch wire?

Ok so here is an image of my upper and lower canines. See the gap is really small. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/kev84718/IMG_1171copy.jpg This is a picture to show the size of the gap between the upper central incisors compared to the lower incisors and upper laterals and lower laterals. h...

I have a few questions concerning my bite. 1. When I bite my teeth together the gap between by upper central incisors and lower incisors is bigger than the gap between my upper lateral incisors and my bottom incisors. Am not talking about overbite here but overjet. 2. Secondly Ive noticed that my sp...
