Hi, I wore braces for about 16months I now have them off and I hate the way my teeth look. The front teeth look to wide when I smile and give a goofy appearance. I made this my main concern when discussing options at the clinic and was recommended to have daemon braces. What can be done to make my front teeth less wider? They have already been filed down but the problems appears to be the width not the length. And can someone confirm if I still have an overjet or is this normal?
