I think this will work--I'm going to try to post some pics. My roommate is still experimenting with her new camera and I'm not so good at cleaning these up, but I think this will communicate the point to some degree...especially the top arch. This is after 5 weeks with braces--
Left is before, right is now:
I was waiting for my first adjustment to pass before I posted all of this. The pics don't do it justice (and the shadows make me look like I'm missing 10 teeth, but I'm not)--Most important to me: my top teeth are entirely straight! I'm so happy!

I just rehosted your images on another server. I think the one you used is being picky about direct linking, because I'm getting broken link symbols with yours. In any event, your progress is encouraging
