Orthodontic treatment
Hi,
Currently im going through an orthodontic treatment with metal braces. It has been 18 months and now I have overbite of 8mm gap and no bite alignment with crowding in lower front teeth. My doctor said it is recommended not to move the molar tooth in order to correct the bite and with this i have speech issue, lips incompetence, pain while chewing because of misaligned bite. Is this appropriate result after 18 months of treatment?
Hi,
The duration of treatment varies for each case.
Unless you feel comfortable and happy with the results, you can always ask your dentist.
I would suggest you to kindly discuss it with your dentist and get to know what they have planned ahead.
For any queries you can contact us through video call.
Thank you.
