One thing about orthodontic is you have to really stick to the plan, without any deviations upto the very end!
Eg at the end of my treatment (in my teenage days many years ago), I had nice looking teeth. Then I was supposed to wear some removable clips for a couple of months or so more. Partly due to my resentment of them due to the discomfort, and partly due to my keen sense of discipline (er… ie lack of it) I ended up ditching them, and my teeth gradually started going back to the previous state. But of course only to a certain extent, they stopped (hopefully 😉 ), and were much better than the original, though not quite
enough to star in a Colgate advertisement.
PS: But then one time I fell down landing on my chin, and had my teeth been perfect, I mightve bit my tongue but nothing happened, so… no regrets… 😉
