Just a few questions if anyone can offer advice or any information. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
I had a palate expander from April till July then pretty much a retainer to keep things in place until November when i got my upper ceramics (at last!) So i have had my upper ceramics for about a month now, got used to them fairly quickly! My main problem was my upper palate was very narrow and needed to be more like a U rather than a V (if that makes sense!)
These are pics first day with expander

1) Do you think i have had good movement in the first 3 weeks, i went for an adjustment after 2 weeks and ortho didnt say much.
2) Do you know if there is anything i can do about my pointy fangs, ortho said something about pulling them down a bit and rounding them off? Not sure really what that means, any ideas?
3) The gums on some of my teeth seem to be worn away at the top showing a sort of pointy appearance, is there anything i can do about this?
4) My ortho has suggested getting a veneer on my little tooth (Next to my large tooth-soory dont know the names!) Would it be worth getting a veneer on either side of larger teeth? It might look odd just to get it on the one. (I do have quite small teeth generally i think!)
My ortho is nice but i feel like i am fussing when i am asking him so many questions! He also said i will only have the brace for between 6-9 months? Hope hes right! Anyone been in braces such a short time?
THANKS!
