Okay all I went with bright green. Within the past month I have had two milestones towards a fuller smile. I had the surgery (I am proud to admit that I barely touched the pain meds the doc prescribed), and just yesterday I got the first tray for the RWB system. I don't know which hurts worse the bo...

I just got told last Wednesday that I would have to see a oral surgeon to get a tooth pulled down (which is yet another reason for me getting braces). But I have no idea what gingioplasty is. Some one help me please????
