And they are off!

#1 Post by thisgal201 »

I was debraced just a little while ago and it feels so weird! I feel like my teeth look big and I can't seem to smile without it looking awkward lol. Is there an adjustment period of getting used to your lips and smiling post braces? I feel like my teeth are hitting off my bottom lip or something. I guess things need time to settle :huh: Now to figure out what I want to eat since my teeth are free :crazy:

WOW, great result, congratulations!!!

Your arch has widened so much! How did your ortho achieve this? Only with braces or did you have an expander?

Wow! Your teeth really look great!! I posted a question a couple of weeks ago asking if getting braces alone, without an expander, could widen your arch. It sure seems to have happened in your case. I hope my teeth look as good as yours!
