Still feel crooked from the back...

#1 Post by krooner »

Has anyone had this problem? My teeth look pretty straight from the front but when I run my tongue over the back of my top teeth they feel crooked. I guess I figured they'd be more smooth and arched.

I was amazed by this, myself! My fronts are beautifully straight. But due to differences in thickness and shape, some of my teeth aren't straight from the back. They are all cup shaped so don't line up smoothly anyway.

They align the front, the back just does it's own thing...I guess... :wink:
