Pictures of arch/overbite. Opinions?

Hi,

I am not sure. But it looks like there is a bend in your archwire to bring forward
and move up your left lateral. By doing so, your canine and left central moved
up a bit too. But their length is now very good. So, like Shawnie said, all 3 would
need to come down a bit. To close the gap that pic 1 shows, I think it should
be possible. If your bite is good and your upper/lower canine relationship is good
then do not change that occlusion. A good bite is very important. But maybe the
lower left lateral can be brought forward/tipped forward a little bit. And some
very small IPR on the upper left front teeth can also be done to win a little more.
I used several times the word "little". Because it is indeed detailing. You have
now a very nice bite, nice arches and great teeth. So, you had a very successful
treatment. But if these issues are bothering you, do not hesitate to ask to do
something about this. I am sure it can be done in only some weeks. It will only
eat a micro tiny lil bit of their profit. Your ortho will probably survive this.

Good luck !

Sending your ortho the pix was a great idea!

There is a chance that this problem developed since your last adjustment OR that it was to be resolved in the past weeks and wasn't.

You say that your ortho is one of the best in your area, I would assume that he would be very willing to fix this problem before debonding.

Let us know how it goes!!

In case you didn't realize it, Parr was joking with you...he's that kind of kid.

I'm interested in what happens too so please keep us informed. Here's hoping for all the best. (I get nervous when I hear profit in regards to medical treatments.)

Actually, Teach, no I did not realize they that Parr was kidding. I read some of his previous posts and I am not sure that you are correct in this....

I would actually consider his statement to be near that of a fetish posting.

Nervous about profit?? Why??? It is a business and businesses must generate profit....If they don't, then there are no federal taxes to be collected upon that business. Now if only I could get mine to do this! Now, that said, your profession is likely one of the most underpaid and overworked and under praised yet most important professions around. I applaude you for your dedication!!! I digress. Please exuse me.

It looks to me to be WAY OFF, however, the majority here seem to agree that it is minor. Majority rules....

Thanks!

Well, I'm back and they are still with me. She agreed that this was not where she expected them to be. Four more weeks and we should be there.

I'll take your word for it, Tracy. I just thought it was an odd comment.

I had the exact same problem as you. One side of my jaw is slightly longer than the other. I think that was the reason.

Sorry for expecting what I said to come across correctly without tone of voice, not possible on email. Fetish? medical gear is not my thing, just my job. But I meant what I said, you have a great smile! I do have a wicked sense of humor and for that I appologize if I caused offense. Having decided to get a fixed up mouth, I am into it, as are many others here from what I read. I am also into working out and other aspects of physical maintanence and improvement. But this is your post and I'm hogging it. I'm glad to read your expectations will be met.

Glad that your Ortho will be able to fix this issue for you. I thought that as long as it was something that she could fix, that she would. I'm sure she doesn't mind one more month in order to have a satisfied customer that she may be able to get referrals from.

Can't wait to see your before and after pictures. Lucky you, only one more month!
