Oh yes, ribs, corn on the cob, apples, etc
And I know the pic is blurry... no macro lens on my camera phone, go figure
I will take a real pic the second I get home

Congrats Cat, that is really exciting news. Your teeth look great. You really did have a long go of it but in my opinion it was well worth it. Your outcome looks awesome! Yay for you

Beautiful new smile! You must be very excited to finally have a debanding date! I noticed your front teeth don't look as long now. Did they get pushed back up into the jaw a bit (intruded- if that's a word??), or were they shaped, or perhaps just a trick of the camera? Whatever it is, they look wonderful!
Congratulations!

Thanks!
well there's a couple things, i think my front teeth were actually never all that big, my two front teeth were pushed out, the two teeth on either side were pushed back, so i think that made them look huge.
once they aligned everything, i was like "woah my two front teeth are normal sized", and also yes they did do a little shaping last week for me and will do a little more after i get my braces off.
