Thank you all for your concern over my pain level, it's pretty up there but I think I will just grin and bare it! My teeth look straight from the front but are like /\/\/\ when you look at them from above or below, three years of braces, if that's any indication for ya! And, if you look close in the lower right you see a bracket WAY down, that tooth is really bad and you will notice how close the bottom two middle are to each other, the brackets touch because the teeth are like / \ it's not so hot from every other angle, lol!

I was so nervous and excited to be braced panicked when they handed me a chart with colors. I saw two and pointed too them: Purple and Orange. I wanted something that stood out.
This is my second time with plain silver. I think I might have them try on some different colors at my next adjustment to see if I like them. If I do, I'll post a picture.
