This is my second time around of having braces. I had them the first time in my early teens, as my teeth were all over the place, and by the time the procedure was completed, I was 18, and my teeth were near perfect.
However, by my early 30s, my teeth had moved, and the two front lower teeth had rotated in on themselves.
So I saw the ortho in early 2004 (aged 31) and had braces re-fitted to de-rotate them. Halfway through the treatment, I decided to have my top teeth straightened (in for a penny, in for a pound!) as I thought they were beginning to look a bit like buck teeth.
A few days ago, the braces came off (a very happy day!), but I'm not convinced that my teeth are 100% okay. They're angled outwards from the gum, and not vertical.
See pics below (sorry about the teeth color - I'm seeing th dentist next week for a clean!):

I wished I'd noticed this earlier while my braces were still on, but it was hard to see my teeth's final position with all the brackets and wires in my mouth.
Am I being over the top? I'm seeing the ortho in a few days time for a follow-up appointment. Should I question him regarding this? Will I need to be re-braced?
