I wore braces for about 34 months starting in 2010. It has been almost 7 years now and I have been wearing my retainers perry religiously. 22 hours a day for the first 6 months and every night after. Now I wear them once or twice a week.

Also I noticed that my occlusal place is not perfectly straight. I have more overbite on my left compared to my right side

Re: How bad do my teeth look?
They dont look terribly crooked, although the Overbite (if thats what it is) is pretty obvious.
Only an Orthodontist could really tell you how bad it is and what you are going to need after they evaluate it.

Lots of crimes here

2. Missing teeth #s 9, 14, and, 29
3. Open bite
4. Upper midline left of center
5. Lower midline right of center
6. Upper and lower teeth not straight
Sentence - 24 months, turned to 27 month.
Braces removed since 11/06/17

Re: How bad do my teeth look?
Yea, there's some overbite, not the biggest, not the worst, but i can see it... Well from an aesthetic point if view, you're still good, i would probably not notice it even if i were to meet you (and trust me, ever since i got braces all i do is notice stuff about everone's teeth and gums
). But you should definitely see an ortho and make sure it's not gonna ruin your teeth/jaw yada yada.

Re: How bad do my teeth look?
Looks good enough I wouldn’t pay $$$ (cost of braces) to fix what’s wrong. You look fine, but I see where there might be concern. If you have the money to spare, fix them to make you happy. If not, that’s fine because the imperfections are only super noticeable if you stare long enough!
