A member asked:
Why did the shape of my teeth change after i wore braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: Teeth are fully formed when they erupt into the mouth. They can't change shape. As they assume different relationships to each other your perception may change. Ask your orthodontist to show you your pre-treatment models and compare pre- and post-treatment tooth shape.
