It's been 3 years since my orthodontist screwed up my teeth...?
can i go back to him now and demand he pay for a porcelin cap??
after i got my braces off my ortho. shaved off the ends of my teeth so that those ridges would go, but he shaved off way more than necessary on one of my teeth so now it's noticeably shorter than the rest. it's the one between one of my two front teeth and the canine. =( i didn't realize this until recently and now every time my tongue feels my teeth or i look at my smile in the mirror i feel like demanding that he do something about it! it looks so uneven, and it doesn't help that i have vampire-like canines adjacent- making for a good and obvious contrast. I do realize it's not the end of the world of course; i'm simply wondering if it would do any good if i go back and tell him to take a good look at what he did there and could he shell out a few dollars for me to fix it. he can def. afford it (he's expensive), i paid and entrusted my teeth to him for 4 years. however, it has been 3 years since the incident. sigh...
i do remember noticing him look like "oops" while shaving them, although he didn't say anything to me. i didn't make much of it at the time, i was too excited to have my braces off. i don't like that he wasn't honest enough to mention it to me then. ugh.

No harm in asking. If it's something he can fix himself, he'd probably be more willing to fix it for free or cheap but if it's something that would cost him money, it's doubtful.
You (or your parents) probably signed some kind of disclaimer that covers this sort of thing... some kind of agreement not to sue if you don't like the outcome.
Good luck.
