UNEVEN!

check out www.oehlers.net/jawsurgery

you can see that the expansion also did not go entirely even, the left

half of my teeth also moved more to one side than the right side. But

you'll be amazed how quickly they will put everything back in its

place with braces, and how beautiful it will look.

Plus my one front tooth was a bit longer than the other front teeth,

and they just filed it down (with a sort of sandpaper) but that was

completely in the end after the brackets came off. He also filed some

other teeth to match the shapes of both sides. That also made a big

difference in the endresult.

and all who replied

Thanks a lot. that is exactly how my teeth

look. Knowing what they will look like in six months

helps a lot. I am still pretty self conscious but I

can live with it knowing what the long term goal is.
