I agree with Lionfish, Kayla4644, your teeth do look great.

What is the basis of your hesitation? All I could see was perhaps your left upper canine seems marginally 'longer' than it's offsider on the right (I only notice cos mine is the same and I'm a bit obsessed about getting them to match

). If this is the case then perhaps your ortho could shape it a little to match your other?

But really, your teeth look fantastic! Any before pics for comparison?

hi. I think your smile looks very nice. The only thing I might change would be the spaces between your teeth (on the bottom of your front teeth). I think orthodontists can shave between the teeth. Maybe your ortho could shave where your teeth are meeting together so it is even with the open bottom so your teeth meet in a clean line. Personally, I don't mind the one longer canine.

Don't end treatment until you are satisfied.

Hi kayla4644,

I agree with previous posters your teeth do look great (hey your debanding date is only 8 days after me

).

I also had the "open" look

(on one side). The orthondontist wasn't happy with that and so I had to wear elastics for about 8 weeks. They worked really well - even though wearing them was horrible

!

If you are really concerned about it maybe talk to your ortho about exending your debanding date for a couple of weeks or start wearing elastics now to bring your teeth together before your braces come off

Your teeth look great, but when you say you wanted them to look more closed, they do touch when you close your mouth right. It looks like your mouth is open in the picture can you bring your teeth together more. otherwise I would think that would be a huge problem. Dont let them take them off if your teeth are not touching.

haha, no no.
sorry.
yes, my mouth is open to show you all of them better.
what i meant by not being "closed enough", i meant in between my teeth.
maybe im being overly picky.
but i am getting a tiny bit of bonding to make it look more closed.
so,i feel better.
