Congrats Cat, that is really exciting news. Your teeth look great. You really did have a long go of it but in my opinion it was well worth it. Your outcome looks awesome! Yay for you
looks so great, you should be proud! I havent got my braces yet but im gettng 4 extractions first, and just seeing pictures like yours makes me sooo excited!!
Beautiful new smile! You must be very excited to finally have a debanding date! I noticed your front teeth don't look as long now. Did they get pushed back up into the jaw a bit (intruded- if that's a word??), or were they shaped, or perhaps just a trick of the camera? Whatever it is, they look wonderful!

Congratulations!
Thanks!
well there's a couple things, i think my front teeth were actually never all that big, my two front teeth were pushed out, the two teeth on either side were pushed back, so i think that made them look huge.
once they aligned everything, i was like "woah my two front teeth are normal sized", and also yes they did do a little shaping last week for me and will do a little more after i get my braces off.
Edit: just posted better pics!
