    Unhappy Help please

    Ok. I'm scheduled to get my braces off on Monday, but my mouth doesn't feel or look correct. When I first got elastics I wore them to much and developed a small underbite. They orthodontist then made me wear more elstics to put my teeth into the correct position. They went back to normal, but I noticed that the top teeth on the left side of my mouth were farther over the bottom ones than the teeth on the right.

    I've talked to the orthodontist about it, but they told me it was because my teeth are shaped weird, but I don't believe they were actually listening. Now the top teeth on the left side are so over that they're touching the brackets while the right side are higher and only the big front tooth is barely touching the bracket.

    Is there any way the orthodontist can fix this or something I can specifically tell them so they'll actually help me.

    Rebecca explain like you have here. Make sure you have a mirror so you can point out the places that are bothering you.

    Sometimes it's not possible to correct some issues, but you need a good explanation before accepting that.

    Good luck!
    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!
