i started out with a class III underbite and used a face mask for several months, now my upper teeth are in good position in front of my lower teeth. i'm happy with that but, i've had braces for 3 and a half years now!!!!!!!!!!! i had them taken off over a year ago, everything was good but within a few hours after taking them off, my teeth started moving around and my JAW seemed to be going back to the way it was before, so a week later i had the braces put back on (and charged $500 for it). i don't know if this matters but when i had them taken off, i went without a daytime retainer for the first week (my dentist sent it back to the lab to get it fixed because it didn't fit properly), could this have been why they moved?
anyhow, i have seen little to no progress since having them back on and it feels like i'm never going to take them off! i've already paid the full amount off and i've already tried to get a bit of a refund from my dentist but he basically sat me down and blamed me for no progress claiming i didn't do what i was supposed to when i know i did!
what should i do everyone? i want to switch but will that mean i have to go another couple of years with braces and possibly oral surgery(this was recommended to me by an orthodontist before i went to my GD)? you would think that with the way my teeth have been for a while, that all i needed was a few months and i'd be fine but he just can't get anything right this time! i'm wasting so much time with him!
thank you for any help
