Can braces fix an uneven smile line?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has gone through orthodontic procedure to fix an uneven smile line. Here is an example pic: DSC02843.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I'd suggest consulting with an orthodontist. Some improvement should be possible, but how much will depend whether the issue is purely dental (how the teeth have grown in) or whether there is an underlying cant in the jaw bones.

my sister had the same thing... didn't quite need braces but decided to go with it anyways. The orthodontist treated hunrdreds of patients and had a precise game plan that included rubber bands, archwire, etc. and fixed her up with metal braces in about 18 months.

You have to find a really good ortho.... good luck

I'm doing the same thing with my ortho (and correcting some bite issues) so I can't wait to have the perfect smile I wanted after the first time in braces. Farking doc who screwed up the first time! This one is great though, he said he can fix it all in about 15 months
