One month braces free!

#1 Post by KathleenH »

I had my braces removed 4 weeks ago, and am absolutely loving it. The one thing I find very surprising, though, is that only one person (outside of my family) has noticed! Or at least only one person has commented. Very odd.

Anyway, I am horrible at taking pictures of my teeth, so I was waiting for today's final records appointment. That way I have all the exact poses to compare. So here they are!

Initial records - May 2003

Final records - October 2006 (please bear in mind that I am 9 months pregnant, so I look a little swollen and tired)

Your profile is so different now! I love it- very cute! The teeth are a bit hard to see as the pic is so tiny, but your profile... wow!

Beautiful! You look like a new person. Are you pregnant in the first picture or the second? Looks like the first to me.
