They look good but was the reason for the braces something uncosmetic since from the picture of the top teeth there is obviously nothing visible that needs changing. Come clean - are they really "recreational braces"? See a previous discussion topic on this issue.

Cheers

o my gosh! i can't believe you don't know the difference.
my teeth were hideous. i never smiled in pictures or even in person for that matter. i was very embarassed of my teeth prior to braces.


here is why.

here's a view from the bottom

but it's not like that anymore. i ended up waiting 5 years for braces since my parents couldn't afford them. so i got a job, saved my money and spent one year getting my teeth fixed before i could get braces. cavities, extractions, a root canal...all that ate my bank account. but it was the smartest investment i could ever do for myself. now i'm on my fourth month, with unbelievable progress..and i can only assure you, that these are NOT recreational braces. they are the REAL deal and i love it!

next adjustment 11/30/07! wooohoo

I THINK YOUR TEETH LOOK AMAZING!!!!!! I can't believe how beautiful they look. I am excited to see some progress in my teeth but I have awhile to wait, I have had my braces on for 2 days. :cry: Congratulations, althought I cannot imagine that you have that long to go. They look ready to me :wink: Lori
