Teeth Filing?
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 7:04 pm
I am scheduled to get my linguals off in June. Overall I am pretty pleased with the results, though partially disappointed.
First, I was told that I would have them on for 5 months. I got them put on in June of 08. It's been almost a year now and while my teeth look great; it is frustrating because I chose the linguals because of how quick my ortho said it would go. I paid over $7k already. It would have only been $3,500 for traditionally braces, but he got me when he said how quick they would work.
Also, when I go to get them taken off, I wanted to see if I could get my teeth filed and whitened. Do ortho's usually file down teeth? My teeth are pretty much all the same size, but I'm a total perfectionist and kind of would like them a bit more even.
I don't see my ortho again until the end of May, so any help from those who have experience is appreciated!!
