Just a quick question. Since i have braces it appears my arch is becoming narrower then before i had braces. Getting a little worried.
I have the damon system. Lots of screw ups has been happening to my teeth and getting them sorted. However just abit worried about the arch. Can I expect a more rounder and wider arch when this treatment is finished.

I haven't been able to take a pic of the inside of my mouth but I think my arches are very narrow compared to some of these pictures. This I'm sure is due to extractions. As a result my cheeks sometimes look sunken. I'm hoping that when I get braces that whatever I have done will give my face a fuller look.

I've had extractions of all my first premolars and my arch doesn't seem narrower. If anything, it has helped with my overjet and people are noticing that my profile looks heaps better. I've received many compliments on my teeth, especially after the gaps have decreased.
