Besides many mistakes done by my orthodontist there is one that I am not sure if it is a common procedure like he said so I would like to know who here had it done.
After the assistant removed the braces the orthodontist came and shaved a few teeth front and back. I am not talking about the shaving between teeth that is done during treatment. I am talking about shaving front and back after the braces have been removed.
When I questioned him of so much shaving he said it was a common procedure. So I let him continues but I felt he was " forcing" the teeth into a position.
I would like to know if this is indeed a common procedure and how many people had it done.
I would like to clarify that I am not talking about shaving between teeth. He shaved between the teeth several times during the treatment even one week before the braces were removed.
Teeth shaved front and back (Is it a common??)

I dont know but my orthodonist shaved my tooth in the front and i can feel the texture difference & it bothers me.
It was a little longer than the other tooth so i guess he did it to make it look the same as the other.
