Hello doctor,
I think my maxillary lateral incisors are not in perfect shape but my dentist thinks they are. I just need a second opinion.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your maxillary lateral incisors are perfect in shape and place (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Only, maxillary left central incisor is a bit down from occlusion that only dentist or you can feel the difference. If your case is about to end, ask the dentist to remove the bracket from #1 left side upper and put it back just 0.5 mm above and then put the wire back for like 2 or 3 weeks. Then this tooth will be intruded and will be perfect in place. Otherwise, if he feels like he can do slight slicing of this incisor too so that both the incisors will be same in place. 19, 20 difference would not be much obvious. Give me follow-up after your next visit to the dentist.
