How bad/repulsive was my smile ?
How difficult would it be to get dates with such teeth (I hear teeth are very imp to women ??)

How bad/repulsive was my smile ? I dont think it really all that bad. We always see things on ourselves worse than what they are.

How difficult would it be to get dates with such teeth (I hear teeth are very imp to women ??) For me personally Its not how straight the teeth are but how well they are taken care. If I meet someone who doesnt brush their teeth that would be a big nono.

Two missing laterals, but they're nice and straight! Your implants should make it easier to eat out in public. I think it was totally worth it!!!!!!!!

About your original smile and getting dates, before I started having my teeth straightened I asked myself would I want to date a women with teeth that looked like mine? They weren't too bad, but I'd rather her have nice straight, white teeth. Even though it can cost thousands of dollars, it's a big part of our appearance that can be improved relatively easily compared to other things. As much as I try not to, if I am talking with someone with very crooked or yellow teeth, it distracts my attention. Your original smile would have distracted me.

Your teeth look great now! It was well worth the money.
