[quote=Anonymous]I had never heard of orthodontists shaving teeth down after braces! That is super weird. I had braces in my late teens and that was never discussed. I can definitely see how it would give someone a weird look, with all the teeth flat straight across. But that's not orthodontia, even if an orthodontist does it. I have a cousin who had his teeth shaved to give them a very regular look because he lives in Southern California and so many people have teeth like that, whether from shaving down or veneers. I think it looks fake and weird. I had to have a tooth shaved down to a nub after a root canal in order to make room for a crown, and I found the experience deeply unsettling. I had a temporary crown in there for a week while my permanent crown was made and it came off while I was eating one day and I could feel the nub with my tongue. I kid you not, it felt like death. I don't like screwing with my teeth.[/quote]
