    3 years with braces -advice needed (with pics)

    Hi, first I forgot.. I apologize but the picture (last one) was taken after eating and I didn't have time to brush

    I have been wearing braces for almost three years now.
    I started somewhat like this (this is after 5months of wearing)


    this is 2007 in July


    And today I have this:


    am supposed to take it off in few weeks, but I don't like how the bite looks like
    what do you think? maybe it can't be better, maybe it can, i don't know anymore

    the thing that bothers me if following:
    i'll talk about left and right as you (and me) see it when looking at the picture
    so on the left side lower teeth are much more inside that on the right side and because of that upper teeth go more over the lower teeth on left side than on the right side, isn't it?
    i don't know if my jaw is wrong or what?


    THX!

    hard to tell from these pics, but looks like you are pretty much there... i'm sure you can ask your ortho to keep tweaking until you are satisfied.

    With the brackets on in pictures, and your pink bands, its kind of hard to tell....

    Your teeth are looking amazing baky ... congratulations!

    About the things you're unhappy about ... I recommend you give your ortho's office a call and ask for an appointment to have a discussion about your concerns. Do this asap, so that if your ortho is able to correct these, then that can be started now. Also please realise that there are some things that can't be corrected due to our jaw shape, without making the results unstable, but your ortho will explain this, if this is your case.

    Good luck and congratulations on such a great outcome!
    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!
