    My teeth are RUINED after braces!
    Okay so basically, the reason I got braces is because one of my tooth was really behind the rest of my first teeth. This is because one of my adult teeth grew while my baby tooth was still there,
    So it didn't have space to grow in its proper place so it grew behind the baby tooth.
    Picture here:

    So I got braces to bring that tooth out, to make my teeth look normal.
    But thing is, to make space for that tooth, my front teeth had to stick out (move forward) to make space for my tooth. So as a result, I got a baaad overbite and my whole front teeth sticked out a lot.

    But that's not the only thing, my whole front teeth moved downwards, so now, my front teeth cover like 80 percent of my whole mouth and you can't even see my bottom teeth and it covers my mout when I'm talking, so you can't really hear me talk anymore.

    And that's the problem.
    Now that my front teeth are so low, I have problems speaking properly,
    And when I laugh, smile, or talk, my front teeth stick out and I look really weird.

    I am so depressed over this because I can't speak clearly! I speak really weird now.
    HELPPP.
    My retainers are really weak and they don't help AT ALL/

    If your current orthodontist has not responded to your concerns/unhappiness, get another opinion from a different orthodontist (and bring your records along so he/she can see what was done for your treatment). Whether your first orthodontist would do anything without charging you more, I can't say, and maybe you don't want to use their services again. However, I think a second opinion is your first step.
