What can be done to make my front teeth look the same?!
Question: Im a 30 year old female. four weeks ago I had a brace fitted on my top set of teeth. Before my brace was fitted my teeth pionted inwards and my two very front teeth also overlapped. Since my teeth have moved outwards and straightened by my brace, a newproblem has been revealed. One of my two very front teeth is considerabley shorter than the other. The shape of the shorter one is straighter and flatter. Is this because before my brace it was the tooth pushed furtherst in to my mouth on the overlape?, and so caused it to take all the wear?, whilst the longer tooth at the front has remained a more natural shape due to less wear?
what can be done about this?. I have spent years saveing to have this brace for a more perfect set of teeth. But I now feel I have wasted my money, because they don't look any better than how they looked before my brace?
I dont like the appereance of veneurs as I feel they look too perfect and artifficail.

Talk to your Orth. Four weeks isn't long enough to for the tooth to be in the finished position, it may pull down some more. Next appt. have a frank discussion with the dr about what the results will be. He may need to do other things besides braces to get your smile the way you want it.
Good Luck
