Question:

Braces brackets are low?

I got my braces about 3 weeks ago and it's been bugging me, because the brackets on my front two teeth they are kind of low. i don't have buck teeth at all and i'm worrying that it will make my teeth too even or something. i'm 13 and they aren't even that low, but it's not in the middle of the teeth like my orthodontist said it was going to be, and they don't line up with the other brackets. i want to say something about it but i don't want to be rude and i don't want to say it if it's nothing to worry about. all of the things going on in my mouth cost 5,000 dollars that my family doesn't have and i want all of the money to count. i'm obviously no professional so i don't know.

Answer:

Ask your orthodontist.any time you're curious, just ask. At first your brackets can look a little wonky, but as your teeth shift, they will begin to line up. I was kind of concerned about a few of mine, because if you looked at them they were all over the place, but as my teeth started to move around they've lined up better and better, and the ones that seemed high are where they should be. You also have to consider that sometimes a tooth has to be shifted in order to allow another tooth to shift, they are all then put back into place. Honestly, though, ask questions, it is your mouth. I ask questions all the time (I probably drive my Dr crazy) about what's going on in my mouth and why certain things are the way they are, and I'm 30.
