Can my frontal lower teeth get uneven due to braces? How can it be fixed? (photo)

Question

Ive had braces for 1 month now but I've noticed that one of my frontal lower teeth has become shorter that the other one and I'm not satisfied with how that looks. I'm worried that It might stay that way or even get more low. Is that caused by braces because it wasn't like that before. And can braces fix that? How can that be fixed I still have about one year to go.

You have asked a great question while just starting your treatment. To give you a quick and yet complete answer, is Yes. Keep in mind that while your teeth are moving and shifting they may look slightly out of place, your final results will ultimately be in the hands of your provider. Your doctor can definitely help you with the points that you have risen about the teeth being even. It should be discussed with him that is one of your goals in treatment and he/she can definitely help you with that.All the best,

It may be possible for your doctor to do some wire bending or bracket repositioning to help align your incisors. Speak with your Orthodontist.
