Leigh, Katey's teeth aren't near as bad as Wendy's!!! Wendy is going to have to have braces and an appliance to widen her upper bite. She has an over bite and then the craziness of her upper teeth. Are they hurting her? When did she get them?
She got them on the top 4 to correct her underbite. The Ortho predicted 8 months and then a retainer, but on the last visit, he said she's coming along so well, it might only be 6. This move was to avoid the underbite from getting worse and braces in the future a nightmare. Once they come off, she'll use the retainer at night and then we'll revisit the situation later (13?) if needed. She got them in January. Periodic soreness is all she's experienced, but remember, she just got the top done......no spacesr or any of that stuff.
