It’s been over a year since I got my braces on, and I’m now used to having them on. One of my archwires broke last month and I had to wait a week to get it fixed. My main worry – with a few months to go until I’m supposed to get the braces off – is that my top lip is disappearing. I had a tooth taken out before treatment and am worrying that it shouldn’t have been removed. I had plump, fairly even lips before I got the braces on. Hoping that I won’t end up with a ‘mean’ look.
