Not happy with results...

Well, I'm about to be debanded! I was supposed to get my braces off today, but since my orto told me not to wear elastics this last month, my right molars don't touch again! I brought this up today, and she said they would come back to place by themselves, once the braces are of... I sincerely doubt this, and don't think they will last in that position. Even worse, before I used to feel the molars touching the instant I put the elastics on. Now I don't! I've been wearing them for the past hour and they still don't touch... And my orto seemed a bit bothered bu the fact I didn't want to remove my braces today...
So, that is the functional problem I want solved before getting them off. Now the aesthetics... Well, since my letf incisor is larger than my right one, my upper teeth seem to be inclined to the right side, so my smile looks shifted. I mean, my teeth seem to go that way, and my lip to the other way (I don't know if I am being clear, I'll try to post a picture).
Also, since she filled my upper left tooth, it now looks crooked, cause she left it longer in one side... and I have a gap between my front upper teeth (she shaved between them, but it remains the same).
All this problems and I can't even talk to her about it, i feel so stupid.
I think I may get a second opinion... what do you think?

I don't know what to do, honestly![/img]

I hear ya. Mine has been quite a pain as well.

Tell her that you are not happy with the way they look.

I haven't been able to talk to my ortho and have him listen but I just keep being heard wheather he likes it or not. They are your teeth.
They are the pros and we understand that but you should voice your concerns. Make sure he knows it really bothers you and you want to understand whats going on.
