This is my 4th year of braces and I've notice that, my upper jaw is shifted more to the right while my lower jaw is shifted more to the left.. The orthodontist said it is because I don't wear rubberbands. What can I do if my orthodontist leaves me like this..? I didn't have shifted jaws before braces.. I live in NY, BK
Can braces cause teeth/jaw misalignment?

My orthodontist said that I've been here for too long and it's worrying me.. Perhaps, there is a time limit as to how long one can have braces for..

It is true that I haven't worn elastics in the past but, I am hoping that my orthodontist will fix this.. I have been wearing elastics and my lips look very awkward.. one side of my lip is more bumpy than the other as a result of having misaligned teeth..
