Well I have changed alot of my life up in the last 8 months even. Before July of 2009, it was 20 years since I had been to a dentist. Never had a cavity until I was 21. Then, I just kind of let it go and ignored it. 1 turned into 4 which turned into an abscess, and that was the final straw for me. The whole dental phobia took a backseat to my health. I broke down and found an awesome female dentist, which I ended up with 5 fillings and 1 root canal/crown done in the summer of 2009. The 6 extractions(4 being from cavities that were beyond bad and the teeth had to come out) were done January 15, 2010. Now, the braces were put on as of March 11, 2010. Which leads me to this site.
I do have to say, never did I imagine last June that by this time, I'd already have had all that work done, and be in braces.
And so the story begins. I will add more pictures later besides these ones later. First two are the morning before I got the braces on. The last one, obviously, the day I got them.
Seeing that last picture up close makes me realize that I need to trim up those few nose hairs. WTF, I look like an old man with the 2 stranglers hanging out.
Also, the yellowness is due to, as stated above, being a smoker for 10 years. I just quit January of 2010 so not really sure how much I'll be able to fix the color. Oh well. Straighting them is the first priority.
