Problem With Protruding Incisor And Essix

August 22, 2011
Asked By:TuiArchers

My ortho recommended I do upper arch only n added "our teeth get crowded as we age". I assume he said that coz he saw my lower incisor stickin out but Id never noticed so went along with whatever he said. Towards end of my Tx, I noticed the incisor was protruding badly n I asked my ortho about it n he made an adjusted Essix 4 me. He was very reluctant to fix the problem n now the incisor looks intruded. Is it possible that he made the adjusted Essix so badly that it forced my tooth towards bone?
