text: Not to long ago I was referred to Dr Santucci My four front teeth had braces when I came here My two canine teeth were sideways rather than coming down properly their purpose was to create space so my canines would come in My front teeth had been straight and closed together Weeks later when we came in for an xRay to see if the canines were coming down they were we were making progress and I was ecstatic I really did not want oral surgery A few weeks after that we noticed my teeth separating from one another We came in and got yet another xRay where we saw the teeth were headed straight up again He told us he had never seen this before and did not know what happened He then left with no explanation of what will happen next I am and have had braces for more than two year and I am only in phase I am expecting at least more years of braces or equipment in my mouth Now I am headed for oral surgery where I will have my canines removed
