Really happy/satisfied

#1 Post by venusasaboy »

I just wanted to say that i'm really happy with the way my teeth have turned out because i've only had my braces on for less then 6 months and they already look basically perfect. my ortho keeps telling me they look really good, too. i'm hoping i will get my top ones off by next december but either way, it's just really cool to see how quickly they got straight. and i just know that i am going to wear my retainer forever so my teeth don't get crooked again! Oh and also, i was supposed to get my wisdom teeth out like a couple months ago but my ortho still hasn't said anything so should i just wait until she does? I really don't want to at all!
I'm going to have braces forever :[

Good thing that you are happy with how your teeth are looking :)

As for the wisdom teeth, I would mention it. Remember that if you don't say anything and your ortho doesn't mention them...in a couple of years, if they start to come out or if they are already out...they might cause problems and crowding...so ask because I'm sure you won't want to be back in braces ;)

My dentist said that we will take mine out after the braces are off because my wisdom teeth are still inside and close to the nerve so it would be risky to get them out now.
