They didn't tell me that they file your teeth on...

6 Oct 2012

They didn't tell me that they file your teeth on both sides to allow room for them to fit better. I ended up having a gap. They take much longer than expected, months longer. My teeth have gone back some, so it didn't last. Toward the end they put a permanet retainer on to help for a while, and it chipped by bottom 2 teeth. Should have goen with regular braces.

Great review?

Oh my goodness, it sounds like you had a pretty experience. :(

If I'm understanding correctly, the gap that was formed from the filing (also called IPR for inter-proximal reduction) wasn't completely closed at the finish of treatment, is that correct?

Also, what did your dentist say about the teeth that were chipped?
