    Should I question my ortho?!!

    Hi, everyone. I've had my braces off for about a week now. One thing I am bothered by is that my front 4 teeth don't fit snugly over my bottom teeth. In most pictures I see of patients after the braces are removed, the teeth fit like gears. I'm not sure if this is how MY teeth are because of jaw, arch, etc. or if my ortho should have let me keep my braces on longer. The weird thing is that from the side my teeth on perfectly straight down. But something seems a little off. In addition, my face seems kind of dimension-less around my mouth and I'm wondering if that has to do with everything not fitting correctly. I have pictures on my profile in an album. I would really appreciate your opinions. thanks for your help
    P.S. right now I'm wearing the clear plastic retainers. In two weeks my doctor is going to give me some different ones.

    Wow ... I think your teeth look amazing ... congratulations!

    Talk to your ortho about any concerns you have! Good luck and make sure you wear your retainers for life!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
