Need your view on my dental treatment

Q. Dr im 20yrs old n im under treatment from an orthodontist in pakistan since 1yr,i hav upper mildine shift about 1.5mm but it is almost corrected n the dentist says my treatment is almost complete,my upper maxillary right canine was impacted n it was extracted by an inexperienced dentist when i was a child-n that was the cause of the midline shift and lead to class 2 malocclusion on one side and class 3 maloclussion on the other,my problem is that although my midline is correct there is still a space where the canine should hav been i feel that my teeth r gona shift back once the treatment is off,i am being treated with cross elastics in which the 1st runs from my 26 to 33, the 2nd from 23 to 43 and the 3rd from 13 to 46,plz suggest what should be done in this case and whether this treatment would become useless after sometime?,and whether my dentist is doing the right job?as im in 3rd yr of dentistry myself n im very worried about my teeth.thanku

A.

why dont you consider a single wingcantilever maryland bridge to replace the canine and maintain the space or a dental implant once the space has been created by completion of the orthodontics.
you can know how much space is needed by measuring the canine width on the other side and asking the orthodontist to leave appropriate space

i’m feeling depressed and really anxious going to meet people because of the way i look. i also don’t really want to leave the house i have tried looking for jobs but there is always something holding me back i know i should go to the dentist about this but i just cant face up too that either

i know this isn’t good for me and i should get something done about it but i cant bring myself to do anything its such a personal subject to me and people looking at me even dentist puts me off.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do about class 3 malocclusion and who to talk to ?

This was a big step even posting on this so if there is anyone out there that could reply to this post please do
