My daughter had braces for 3+years. her canine teeth came down in the wrong spot. her midline is off and the dr. says that can happen sometimes.??

Ok....: It can happen. Are you unhappy with the result? If so, her treatment is not yet completed. Discuss your concerns and your desired outcome with her treating dentist (orthodontist). If there is a reason that the midline cannot be corrected or the canines put in their proper position, have it explained to you, and seek a second opinion from a local orthodontist if you are not satisfied with the ans.

It can: If you have questions about the treatment result, please speak to the treating Dentist or Orthodontic Specialist. You may want to seek a second opinion from a different Orthodontic Specialist. There may be good and just reasons for what you perceive to be a compromise, or perhaps additional treatment may be helpful.
