teeth are straight and stuff as I was coming to the end of my treatment, just needed the braces to align them so there was a perfect fit when both rows of teeth touch. but now they're being taken off early and I can't ****ing bite properly, just the front four sets of teeth close together and there's a tiny gap between the others, they don't meet

it's not really visually noticeable so it's not an aesthetic issue, and I can still eat and chew food properly. it just doesn't feel right though, not having my back teeth touch :/ and I can't do a closed smile without my teeth showing so have to do it kinda forcefully. I know it's my own fault really but I didn't know the severity of breaking them, and seriously it's just a few months of my treatment left why didn't they just give me one more chance

Can't your parents put a complaint in, they should really see the treatment through. It seems ridiculous that they won't???
