My orthodontist has just informed me I will be getting my braces off within a month if everything goes well. I have had my braces for 3 yrs and my teeth were really not that bad..besides the point... My dentist has spent more than a yr perfecting my midline but its still off to this day if you ask me. Ive heard people tell me its not a big deal while others say it has to be perfect. My midline was perfect before my braces.
