My Teeth Look Bigger After Wearing Braces. Will They Ever Shrink Back?

June 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi there, I have a question to ask. 8 months ago I had my metal braces removed, they’d been on for just over 18 months. Since they’ve been off I’ve noticed that my teeth are a lot bigger as a result, in particular the two teeth at the front. My dentist tells me that this is because of the bone reforming – I was actually worried that my teeth had been pulled away from the gums. Obviously I’m disappointed because I thought after having braces I’d finally be happy with my smile but this makes me feel even worse about my teeth. Will they ever shrink back?

I’ve just had my braces removed and my teeth look bigger.

Q.

I had my braces removed after 18 months (upper ceramic and lower metal) 3 months ago. My teeth are bigger as a result, especially the two front teeth. I’ve been told that this is as a result of the bone reforming/changing shape and not because they have been pulled from the gums. I’m disappointed with the result. Will the teeth eventually shorten after a period of time? The top 2 rows are also slightly pushed outwards and i smile less than i used to.
