im supposed to remove my braces in september and i am very unhappy with it can you advice

Q. Hi Dr Solanki, I’m contacting you for advice as I’m supposed to be alegedly having my braces removed in September, yet my teeth still in my opinon are just not right. I’ve raised the question with my Orthadontist on my last visit, yet he seemed to just blow me off and justify what wasn’t right. My two front teeth are not right. one is slightly further forward. The tooth next to one of my front teeth is visibly still behind, and where teeth have been removed in order to have the braces put on, there are still gaps. I just do not think this is acceptable and I am at a loss of what to do. He’s charged me 2200 pounds, already taken 6 months longer than I was originally told, and I’m very unhappy. I’m hoping you can advise me on what to do. Perhaps I could send you some pictures to look at of the dental work if you wanted to better understand what I’m describing. Thanks

If you are not happy with the result- then someting needs to be done about it. I would advise a 2nd opinion from another orthodontist. If they can see that even more of an improvement can be made- then this needs to be acted on. There is no use in having the appliance removed now if the teeth have not yet moved into the best possible position. Hope it all gets sorted. If you discuss this with your orthodontist ASAP-or perhaps write a letter to the practice to show that you are being totally serious and stress your issues.

i just removed my braces after one and half year, but i do not like the result. Some of my teeth are not straigh yet. My dentist said he will correct them in my retainer. Is it possible to do that? My two front teeth has a chip after he cut them. Is it ok to have my teeth bond?
