When? While smiling?

> PS> has anyone ever heard their ortho say that ideally 3/4 of the

length of your bottom teeth shoudl be showing? i.e. you should see 3/4

of the tooth from the tip, 3/4 of the way towards the gum.. on the

bottom?

Congrats on such a great visit! It sounds like things couldn't be

better! I wish everyone could have that same story!

Take care,

Carol

Kev,

that is fantastic news!!! I am so pleased for you! I can't wait to

hear the same words from my orthos lips. DROOLS...and seriously I am.

I feel like a baby with this splint and rubber bands. I know, I know,

I shouldn't complain. At least I'm not wired! Keep us posted on your

de-bracing:-)

Hi ,

I think the question about what percentage of teeth showing is

recommended depends on what sex you are. I understood from my OD

that for women, the upper teeth ususally show, but this is not true

for men. And men typically show lower teeth when they talk, while

this is not as true for women. It didn't sound correct to me, so I

have been watching people as they speak, and it is true!! Many men

have what I have now, which is totally hidden upper teeth as they

speak, but their lower teeth are very viewable. And many women,

including those considered beautiful, have a lot of upper teeth

viewable as they speak, and many also have lower teeth viewable

also. I didn't hear the percentage, but what you were told sounds

about right from what I have been noticing. Interesting! I can't

wait to hear what other people have heard. I find myself checking

it out when I am watching a movie or TV too. I hope I get over

that! lol
