Okay so, I have had my braces for almost 26 months now. It was supposed to be done within 14 months but then I was not able to go regularly for 3 months, and also there were some brackets broken cause of them being ceramic too. As you can see from the pictures this is my current state and I have some issues with it

  1. The top center and bottom center dont seem properly aligned, but my ortho is saying it is not mandatory that the top and bottom centers are always aligned
  2. Also from the start I did not have any brace on the last two molars of each side, so total of 8 tooth had no braces at all and they seem kinda curved outward, again my ortho said we never touch the last two tooth
  3. The side also do not seem properly aligned, haven't asked him that tho will do at my next appointment

As per my last visit my ortho was thinking of removing braces in my next appointment (10 days) or the later appointment ( 1 month and 10 days). I feel it would take some more tiem, I just want some second opinion of someone who knows this shit. Please help me out. For additional context I had 4 tooth (the ones behind the canine) removed and 2 wisdom tooth too.

Next time I go, what should I focus on asking and what am I just paranoid about ?
