your teeth sure look nice but i am wondering why he left all your molers in a class 2 position. The top teeth are supposto fit into the v of the bottom teeth. What does the other side look like. Orthodontically a class 1 position for the molers is a more stable bite. Since he never finished the molers did he charge full price. Will he retreat for no charge if they shift? Your teeth do look so nice but im wondering why nobody stated the obvious?

My ortho wanted me to have surgery to move my jaw forward but I couldn't afford the surgery and insurance doesn't cover it. Yeah, I paid around $4500 for the braces and the results are as you see them. There is nothing additional that they are doing.

What else could he have done to move my bite besides jaw surgery? That is just how my teeth fit and my jaw falls when I bite down.

Sometimes you just can't get that perfect alignment, especially without extractions. I have perfect on one side only and the other side will not be aligned because I have missing bottom molars and we can't get the anchorage to move the top teeth over. I'm hoping with my new crowns or bridge that my bite will be better but that canine will also go right on top of the bottom tooth.
