[touchofhiddencharm]

I get my braces off this Friday dec 5th and im afraid that my teeth aren't ready. Anyone else feel like this?! Will post pics below. Please let me know If I'm being over critical or if they look fine. Any reassuring tips to help me relax? Thanks and good luck to everyone

I think your teeth look good-- but you should talk to your ortho about your concerns before your braces come off. I've noticed that a lot of people report that their teeth get evened out by the ortho before debanding, for example. I'm looking forward to that part, my front teeth have weird deep notches that I really notice now that I stare at my teeth all the time since I got braced 8 months ago. Good luck with your appointment, keep us posted on what happens!

Thanks everyone! He told me that they will even out the ridges and shape them up nicely so maybe they'll look a lot different after that. I've also heard that your teeth "settle" and usually look a lot better after a couple months of having them off. I will post a picture when they come off.

This past September, after over 2 years, I was scheduled to be debraced but I chickened out! It's December now, 3 months later and I'm still in braces.
