Ive had braces for the last 8 months and Ive been noticing visible asymmetry and slanting of my teeth and lips . Is there something that can be done about this? My orthodontist does not see the slanting and Im almost at the end of treatment .
so one of my front teeth started to slant and it was caused by the braces, and two of my other teeth as well. i feel as if my teeth were even better looking before the braces. The dentist told me i might be ready to get my braces off but i dont agree. do you think that if i tell him he can fix it?
I have a condition where my front 4 teeth of the upper jaw slant outwards like \ (away from the mouth). The lower jaw has straight teeth. I visited one Ortho and he suggests I wear Palate Expander. He says if braces alone is used to straighten my teeth, then I would have an underbite and he says that my Upper Jaw is not fully arched and he needs to pull it forwards. Can I go with this treatment or, are there any other alternatives besides surgery? The jaw needs to shift 4-5mm forwards.
My orthodontist said it wasn't a big deal/told me that many people have this bite. I did have 4 teeth pulled out (2 on top, 2 on bottom) because my teeth were a little bit crowded before and to apparently avoid the appearance of a protruding mouth. I'm pretty sure because of my teeth extractions my teeth have slanted inward. Not pleased with the results. What are the possible solutions for all these problems?
I have had my braces on for about 7 months now just to fix minor issues like gaps and a few crooked teeth. I liked how my teeth were coming to look in the past months but it seems like my teeth are starting to slant. It was not like this in the beginning. Should I ask my dentist about this?
I have had braces on for 4 years so far and although it has gotten better since the beginning, for the past year my teeth have not been moving. The front teeth are slanted toward one side, and 2 teeth stick completely out, where the back of the teeth touch the bottom front. They also flare outward. My bottom teeth are crooked as well. I haven't had any teeth extracted, my dentist did not feel the need to. What do you think would be the best treatment?
I had braces when I was 17, I had them for a total of 2 1/2 years. I of course like many did not heed the advice of my ortho and get my wisdom teeth extracted or wear my retainer. The pickle i'm in now was caused by me and me alone, It's been 6 years since i got my braces off and my teeth have moved a lot. I have yet to get my wisdom teeth extracted but after those get taken out what kinda of time frame do you think i would be looking at to correct my slant and what treatments would work best?
Here is my previous post which may help explain things: 'http://www.realself.com/question/england-great-britain-maxillary-lateral-incsor-extraction-gaps-reopened-for'. As you can see from attached photos, my upper front teeth are retroclined. My question is what method would be best for proclining them and how would this affect my profile? I've explained in the photos what I hope to achieve. I also understand that I would need orthognathic surgery to advance the lower jaw after this.
My daughter had her braces taken off. It appears that the orthodontist just crowded the teeth in for some reason. They weren't like this before in terms of being sloped inward - just a little crowding. The concern was expressed during the treatment. Although discussed it was not corrected. Should we ask them to fix it? Go to another orthodontist? Or is this normal. For me, all I really want is for her to be happy with her smile. Thank you for the advice!
