surprise for me... (with pics for you)

#1 Post by Kim »

Today I found a film lying around that I decided to get developed... (yeah I know, the old way.. who else actually still does this with spams these days! :lol: )
I've been in braces 8 months now. I look at my teeth everyday, and no matter how hard I try to convince myself, I feel as though there's only been a slight change... but that's probably why... I examine them to the max every night after I clean them!
What a lovely surprise I got, when on this film, there are photos from 1 week before I was braced, and another of me 6 months later. My smile has definatley improved... which is now making me smile again even more! :D
Just thought I'd share... I know when I'm looking for inspiration I always come to this forum and leave with a better outlook. Hope I've returned the favour to someone else! Keep smiling! :D

(These pics are scanned so the quality isn't that great)
My smile September 2005, 1 week before being braced... big beaver-looking teeth and all! :oops:
