I’ve Had Braces In For Over A Year Now And Nothing Seems To Have Changed, Is This Normal?
Q.
Hi, please help I have braces and I have had them for just over a year. My orthodontist says I am not far off and should have around 5 months left, although I can see that there are just a few things left to do, every time my orthodontist makes a change (e.g re positions a bracket to move a tooth) if seems to affect a different tooth and so I end up with another tooth that’s moved that was fine before. Is this normal? I am so fed up. Every time I go back there’s always something else that needs adjusting. I really didn’t think the process would take so long as my teeth didn’t look so bad in the first place. I start university in September so would love to have them off by then but I can’t see it happening. Any advice would be great, thank you so much for your time. Kind regards.

Hi and thank you for your question. It always seems to drag at the end as at this stage only small tooth movements are made, hang in there it will be worth it in the end. I hope this helps.
