Yea that is prettty dern neat. I am hoping that i get the ridges on the biting edge of all my incisors filed down. I don't get why they grow in that way any how. Does everyone usually get this done? The shaping and or the IPR? My one friend...I don't know if her "dog teeth" or cuspids are like that naturally or if they were filed down like that whn she got her teeth shaped. But after her braces came off...her dog teeth looked really long, almost vampirish...I don't want mine to turn out that way... :shock:

That is so cool! I'll need to ask my Ortho about this as it might help with my crowding issues. When I'm done I would like the tops smoothed out to make them even and get rid of the ridges and chips. I'm only 3 weeks in so ...Thanks so much for sharing that info!

Ohhhh it's called IPR! 2 orthos suggested filing the sides of my teeth. I didn't know the name for it. Thank you so much for that link Delag! :D
