I am not satisfied with my teeth after braces, I need a second opinion. Any suggestions? (photo)

Question

I got my braces off 7months ago and ever since I have been obsessing over the results. I feel like my teeth recede slightly on one side (I noticed this happen with the braces on and when I mentioned it I was told not to worry). I also feel like my front teeth are bucked. It's like I have an overbite which I never had before. I never said anything because I feel I'm being paranoid. Please take a look at the pics and give me some advice both on the overbite and the narrowness on one side

Maxillary orthopedic widening of the maxilla will give you the room you need to tip those teeth back.  I would recommend looking into the DNA Applianceand epigenetic orthodontics.  Ira L Shapira DDS, D,AAPM, D,ABDSM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD Organizations

Frank Celenza, DDS, PC · Answer

Smile shot from the front looks good, but the side view does look like you're a bit protrusive. Are you biting together on your back teeth for that picture or not?  Incidentally, correct terminology for that is not that you have an overbite, you may have excessive overJET.

Angelos Alvanos, DMD · Answer

Your teeth are definitely protruding. It seems that you were quite crowded before orthodontic treatment and you might have needed extractions to align the teeth and reduce the overjet. If you want to avoid extractions then you have to accept the current teeth position. Discuss the matter with your orthodontist, I am sure he can offer you further treatment if required.
