    I am about to get my 6 month smiles braces off in a few days and my teeth are much better than at the begining but my midline is off.

    I am just wondering do I have any options? Thank you.

    6 Months Smiles is also known as limited objective orthodontics. It will improve things but it is not comprehensive treatment.
    You may have to consider comprehensive, traditional treatment with a specialist orthodontist. Standard treatments take on average 18 months to 2 years.
    Be aware that the midline may be an insurmountable issue ; ref photos of the actor Tom Cruise.

    Midline issues are near impossible to fix.

    Tom Cruise can't even sort it out and he is Operating Thetan Level 8!!

    No I'd speak to your clinician and go over what you asked for, what he/she said they could deliver and see where the missing piece is.....
