Can I Have My Teeth Reshaped While I Have My Braces On?
I currently have braces and my orthodontist thinks I am ready to have them removed next month. I don't think so. My lateral incisor still sticks out and he says my retainer will correct this. He also said because my front teeth are barrel shaped that my teeth will never look perfect or at least how I want them to look. He suggested that I have them bonded after I have my braces removed or have them reshaped after the braces are removed and then do Invisalign... for an extra 2500$ on top of the 7000$ I already paid. Can I have my teeth reshaped while I have my braces on?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have under orthodontic treatment , as you are asking for reshaping ,no your teeths are reshaped only when your braces are removed , you should wait till your braces are removed , then go for another treatment ,
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
