Well, here are my before and after pics.

After.

(sorry the pics are huge, not sure how to make them smaller)
I hope this is an inspiration to someone who is sitting here wondering if to get braces or not. Its the best thing i have ever done for myself and i couldnt be happier.
As you can see my teeth have changed dramatically, dont give up hope. s

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. Since being braced i have been smiling non stop! To be honest the retainers are a breeze, apart from my lower hawley feeling abit loose.
I still cant quite believe these teeth are mine!! it was well worth the money and the 17 months in braces. Next on the agenda is tooth whitening which im starting today, crest white strips.

Emily your teeth look just awsome, I bet you are so happy, u know your teeth were almost identical to mine before braces, and like you, braces were one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Congratulations and enjoy life sans braces!

Hi akireamil, yes i had 4 extractions before the braces went on due to overcrowding an a overjet. i dont regret it though. I smile at absolutely everyone.. they must think im mad

Thanks for all your lovely comments, loving being braceless!
