Congratulations! Your smile looks fantastic.

Welcome to The Naked Tooth Club!

The symmetry of your new smile is wonderful.

Enjoy running naked, eat all your favorite foods, smile big, and ... remember to wear your retainers!

Congrats!

thanks aznfayeth! no, I didn't get any gum reshaping, I didn't even really know you could do that. Anyway, I'm sure your teeth will look great once you get your braces off.
