I got my braces off, but I didn't get the result I was looking for. Now what?

Question:

I JUST got my braces off today, but unfortunately, my teeth didn't exactly turn out as planned. I had a big underbite and so the braces were used to correct that. However, they must have left them on too long, because now my front teeth are too far out and they don't look very good. Anyway, I was wondering if we would have to pay for the correction?

Answers:
Get it on record now that your result is not qhat was promised, if that is the case.

Ortho cases "relapse" a bit in retention and some orthodontists believe in "overcorrection" to allow for this. The judgement as to how far to go comes with experience. Maybe your orthodontist will say this was part of the plan. I just want to put this out there so you don't think it's mumbo jumbo B.S.

Go back to the orthodontics and tell them and so what they say.
