I think my orthodontic treatment is moving my teeth incorrectly. What should I do?
Q.
Hi,
I am 26 years old and have been undergoing orthodontic treatment for 5 months now to correct my grade 3 underbite.
My concern is that my back teeth (where the brackets are) have gradually raised up since the treatment started. This is the case on both sides of my mouth and it is my lower jaw.
I have tried to discuss this with my orthodontist but he just dismissed my question.
Have I got a viable concern?
If so can it be avoided with different treatment management and what has caused this to happen?
Your response will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi and thanks for your questions. Without eaminaing you inperson and understanding your case proeprly, it’s difficult for me to give you an accurate answer. I would advise that you go and see a specialist orthodontist for a second opinion if you’re concerned.

I can recommend several for you if you wish?
Kind regards
