Texture on teeth. Leftover from braces or erosion? (Photo)

Plucky213510May 17, 2023
After my most recent cleaning and polish, I'm noticing texture on some of my upper front teeth that wasn't noticable before. Is this possible composite leftover from braces many years ago or enamel erosion? What can be done to fix this?

There are various ways to create space for blocked teeth/tooth. eg. IPR, extraction of tooth, arch expansion, etc. But no need to worry, that it your orthodontist's job, he will manage. Your case has mild crowding; it's a simple case.

For that cephalometric analysis [skull frontal asymmetry analysis] is must to identify the cause, basis on that one can guide you. Visit orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon.

First, why are your teeth so much proclined after braces treatment? You are ideally all four premolar extraction case. As not all your teeth are visible, so tell me any extractions done during your braces treatment? After this, I can guide you for treatment and retention.
