Two weeks ago, I posted that my braces had been removed after 4yrs, 2mons+. Today I received a letter from my orthodontist which included a small set of before and after pics. As embarrassing as it is to show the state of my mouth before braces, I thought it may be of value to demonstrate the power of braces and the incredible change that can be achieved. While my teeth aren't perfect now, they never will be perfect, but what matters to me is the amazing results and not having to be embarrased again. (Interestingly, since putting on my retainers 2 weeks ago, my midline is now 'perfect', which I can't explain...)
Congrats!!! Excellent resuts and thanks for having the courage to post before and after pics. My teeth will never be perfect either, but having healthy, straight teeth is fine by me.
