widen the mouth...LOL...

I had braces done when I was in my early 30's..... They (braces) did the job in less than a yr, but I still wear at least one retainer part time... I had to pay for it, so I make sure I still got my money's worth, and aligned ... ;o)

Guess you had sufficient width. LOL
My 16 year old had a mechanical widener that had to be adjusted every week or so to widen hers. Six months with a piece of screw-jack shoring in her mouth. Miserable. Had we waited another year they would have had to have operated.
