I just got my top braces off yesterday morning,after 2 years with them on, and my teeth look really biggg. I am getting my retainer in 2 weeks, and i was wondering if maybe just IM seeing big rabbit teeth, or im just not used to it...? Will the retainer help? What can help minimize my teeth..?

Its just you havent had your braces off long enough to get use to it I felt the same way when i got my braces off...I think its becasue you can only see so much of your teeth that your brcaes cover it so that when you get them off its just like WOW! But anyways its perfectly normal and soon you'll relalize that it was just becasue you wern't use to it. [ livestrong's advice column | Ask livestrong A Question ]

I'm sure everyone goes through this. The reason why they look so big is because you are only used to seeing half of your teeth, because of the braces. You'll get used to it though, you just need to give it some time. And don't worry about other people thinking your teeth are too big because to them, they're beautiful.
