Is my orthodontist gonna mess up my teeth or did he just make an honest mistake?

Question

my ortho says next appointment hes gonna have to replace a few braces because he didnt put them in the best position they can be in. does this just mean he messed up my teeth.ive had braces for a few months

Answer 1

No he didn't mess up my ortho did that to me to.  He had to move a couple of bracets because my teeth moved down and he had to reposition them on my tooth to make my end result more effective.  I got this done about one and a half years into my full mouth of braces(I had them on my front top four teeth for two years before this, and have them off and am with a permanent retainer now so don't worry he knows what he's doing).  I am going to school to be an ortho in a couple of years(I'm a sophmore).

Answer 2

My orthodontist did that last month to me.

He didn't s***w up your teeth, but your tooth grew into an unplanned position so he's just rearranging the bracket so you have a beautiful smile.

It hurt me a bit for 2 days, but it's worth it, cause in less than 2 weeks you'll see how that one(or more) tooth has changed, making your smile better.

Hope I helped you.

Answer 3

No, you should be just fine.You are very early in your treatment and sometimes, things need to be changed. I don't think he messed up and your teeth should be fine.

Answer 4

nah, it doesn't mean he messed up. Sometimes teeth move in places that were unexpected or your teeth wind up with the brackets touching once they straighten out. I doubt it was a mistake, more of a stragegy.
