Braces question?! Does your midline matter when you get your Braces off? (photo)

Remember that everyone has some degree of assymetry.  Studies show that midlines that are off less then 3 mm are not noticed by the general public.  That being said, as Orthodontists we try to get the midlines as perfect as possible, making sure the upper midline is on with the face, and the lower midline coordinates with the upper midline.  There are ways to adjust the midlines during orthodontic treatment.  I would express your concerns to your Orthodontist, so they can give you a result you will be satisfied with before the braces come off.  Good luck!

There have been many studies done to determine whether a non-dentist notices the midline being off. There is actually a pretty big range before it is noticed or commented on. Midlines are a little harder to fix, sometimes teeth are different sizes and shapes and they may not be perfect. As an Orthodontist, mine are slightly off but nobody has ever commented on it. 

Best of luck! 

From the picture it appears that your lower midline is off to the right.  It also appears the your lower jaw is off to the right.  The left side of your lower jaw looks longer and rounder than the right side.  Also it appears the your "chin point" (the center of your chin) is off to the right.  You may have started with a skeletal asymmetry that was "unmasked" as your teeth were straightened. My midlines as off also.  As long as the rest of your occlusion is functioning and healthy your midline discrepancy is not a problem but may be a frustration.
