WaaHoooo!!! And it will happen for YOU too!! So after about 2 years in braces and almost 1 year after jaw surgery, this is what I look like. And I went straight out to lunch and was able to eat sushi without having to spend 20 minutes trying to dig rice out of the damn things!! So happy!

Before

Just prior to surgery

Your teeth look fantastic. There is hope for us one year post-surgery folks in waiting in SC. I bet you are thrilled and you should be. Looks great.

Sorry to be a posting maniac, I didn't think my posts were going through.

Thank you Smile2006!! Can't wait to see your pics soon!

My 3 year old keeps doing a double-take and going "You got your things off your teeth?"

Just to keep it fresh in your mind, I go "doink, doink, doink ahh finally got the floss under the wire on that upper left molar." Now another fifteen minutes and then five minutes of brushing. Then do fluoride rinse. Oh yea got to clean the bite plate.

I wonder why my wife always is asleep by the time I'm done?

Your teeth look wonderful.....I am so jealous.':biglaf:'

In three more years, hopefully mine will look that good!
