starz41 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) [size=4][b]I want to ask my orthodontist to file my teeth to make them as straight as possible. he wanted to take my braces off in a month, but my 2 front teeth were touching and had a small gap that annoyed me. I asked him about it and he talked to me about filing it and later performed it. I love how it turned out, and later that day i noticed my bottom teeth also had little gaps inbetween where food would get stuck. first off, i don't really want to annoy my orthodontist with it but i want to file inbetween my other teeth and at the top to make them as straight as possible. can this be done for free? or will i be too bothersome? i believe since i paid him like 2 thousand dollars he should do it but idk.. any opinions? i have to see him again in 3 weeks to check the filing he did today. im thinking he can do the rest next time, and wait 2 weeks after inbetween my teeth to file the top, than 3 more weeks he can finally take them off? what do u guys think? help is needed, thanks![/b][/size] Edited January 29, 2009 by starz41 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBStuck Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 after i got my braces off they files my teeth for free, but it was only that one time after they came off. i paid over 4000 USD to get the teeth that i have, and i don't think that they would do anything for me for free. i think that you are going to have little gaps between your teeth. i don't think that it is a problem, but if it bothers you talk to the orthodontisit about it and see what can be done. i don't know what you mean by filling in the gap though? what did he fill it with?
