  1. Hello, My daughter had narrow upper jaw, class III malocclusion, crowding, and posterior open bite. After two years of braces all the problems seem fixed. My daughter is happy with the way she bites. The only problem left before removing the braces is a midline discrepancy, about 2 mm. The upper jaw is aligned with the middle of the nose but the lower jaw is not. The Orthodontist In Los Angels who did her surgery asked my daughter to wear the elastics in a certain position and warned her to stop if the jaws shift the other way. After a few nights she couldn't bite properly so she stopped using the elastics. She went back to the office and notified the orthodontist about the problem. After 30 sec he said that her bite and smile are beautiful and she should not wear any elastics until next week when he plans to remove the braces. He did not address the midline discrepancy. Is this reasonable after two years of treatment? Thank you very much,
