Hey Janesays,

That's good to know. My ortho mentioned that he might do a small amount of tooth shaping (basically, removing a very small amount of the enamel) but he wasn't very specific about when or where. I have tried to find out a bit more about this, and what I have read on other sites concerns me just a bit. What I am trying to do is to achieve a "flatter look" (regain the look I had before my teeth started moving). I am not chasing dental perfection at this stage in my life, although I completely respect that for many people this is important. In your time in an ortho's office, did you see much tooth shaping going on, and in what sort of cases? Thanks, Hazel
