Any of you not happy with your results after treatment?

I have about 3 months to go and to be honest, I thought my teeth would look alot better than they do. I have spaces that my ortho told me that can't be closed because of the way my teeth are shaped and I understand that, but my teeth just don't look as straight as I thought they'd be by now. Maybe I am just picky and maybe after they are off, they will look totally different.

Look at your "before" pictures and then decide how to feel about it.

I am not yet out of braces, but have felt similar. I think others look at our teeth and do not see what we see, we are always going to be way more critical when it's our own teeth.

For example I notice things I don't like and will try and take a photo of it, upload it to the computer and enlarge it so that I can show my mom because I want to hear someone else agree with me... but every time she just cannot see what I am seeing! it drives me slightly insane because to me the 'issue' is staring us in the face but according to her it isn't and she cannot even see what I am being critical about.

Maybe if you're comfortable with it upload a photo of your teeth how they are now and see what others think? If they genuinely still aren't straight then this definitely needs to be addressed with your ortho.

By spaces, do you mean the black triangles at the gum line that often occur when previously crowded teeth are straightened out and the gum no longer nicely fills the space? I've read on here that they are often filled by shaving a tiny part of the tooth so that they can be pushed together. If this is not possible then many people get bonding done.
