I think I am the only perso n who can say that my teeth are WORSE after having had (adult) braces than before. I actually got them twice. biggest mistke of my life. my roots are so...
(more)
short now athat my teeth are all a little loose. getting several implants this week and my smile will still look of balance becasue of the way that they teeth have shifted. so disgusted. I am doing the implants now because I am losing my dental coverage so it is now or never (and I do need them) after this though I am just going to have to live with a crooked smile.

spot where I have no adult tooth. I was told over and over that the orthodonture had colosed up the space too small to fit an implant (but still a very noticible gap) so I settled for a flipper tooth to fill the space. long long long story short and it seems that the flipper (which hooks on) kept the roots from growing back big and strong and now all my front teeth are loose---> and the retainer was aggravating this also. I listened to a prostotdontist who said to jsut stop with the retainer to give me mouth a chance to sort of soligidfy - he said that he didnt think my teeth woudl shift much- but they shifted a lot and it is just a wreck
