Overbite ...

#1 Post by Leebie3 »

I know the Ortho told me that they'd have to make my teeth worse but I'm starting to have issues after only 9 odd weeks :s. my teeth have moved really quickly and now my molars are only meeting halfway on one side and a quarter on the other :s. not seeing Ortho til next month and they're on holiday until then.. Is this normal and how much worse should it get in the next 16 of months treatment time!?

hey, mine changed an awful lot in the first few months of braces.
I would trust the orthodontist, they know what they are doing.

Personally, when my bite was made worse, it also happened quite quickly. After that, then the movement was quite small and it was small shifts here and there.

Hang in there.
