Hey guys! I got my braces off a couple days ago and I like it but I’m worried that my bottom teeth look bad. I know that they're flared at the bottom but are they super noticeably flared or “crooked”? Do they look bad or am I over thinking it?? The first couple pics are before pictures and the last ones are recently when I got them off. Should I get a second opinion on my teeth and try and get the flaring fixed? For context: I had a lot of crowding on my bottom teeth as you can see and my orthodontist and I both agreed to not get any extractions done. Any feedback would be great. Thank you guys!

Think your teeth look great. Not sure what Country you live, but in USA bimaxillary proclination (incisor teeth upper & lower both flared) is considered attractive and the standard to aim for on orthodontic treatment. In UK they prefer to remove premolar teeth and move everything backward to produce teeth that are less inclined and a flat facial appearance. Your treatment is better way to do it it proclined teeth are a sign of youth and they give support to lips/soft tissue producing a better facial appearance.
