I get my braces off in 18 days! Will the orthodontist file my teeth to better my bite? I have chips in my front top two teeth. I hope he does file them, or else braces would have been a waste.
I'm sure the ortho will file the front teeth to even them out and remove the chips. I have a chip in one of my front teeth and we discussed during the consultatin that once the braces came off she would even up the two front teeth and remove the chip.
