Unhappy - anxiety- with ortho treatment
I am unhappy with ortho treatment. As upper teeth are moved forward in roundish structure which wasn't explained before.Front teeth 6 teeth are near around 5 mm in front than lower teeth. No changes in lower teeth done.Beginning of treatment overlap was removed then midline was matched then prior tooth extraction gap was tried to be closed with powerchain. They said they would flare my teeth later. Which I completely denied. So , 17 days ago i asked them to return them front. Before and after pics are attached.
( they also placed brackets in lower 8 teeth and in name of uptighting started shifting my left jaw for bite alightment. My left face started to sink. I was in so much pain, so i asked them to remove those too.)
If i stop my treatment post 1 year what are the chances of teeth getting back to pre braces position ???? Your unbiased opinion is of utmost importance. Plz help

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hello. I understand your concern. But the term Orthodontics itself means Straightening of teeth and hence the process of alignment isa normal part of it. This is why patient should share the exact concern with the orthodontist before starting treatment. This idea that face sinks on one side due to teeth Straightening is a misguided notion. Please don't worry just talk to your Orthodontist, about what exactly is your concern . So that they can try to bring the possible smile changes. Avoid Changing doctors and avoid over-searching information online as half information can add to confusion.
