by the way i can chew most foods again without hurting too much. :)

i just noticed what a big difference there is in my profile today... 1 month after getting braces on. my teeth don't stick out!!!!!!!!!!! wow.
except i kinda think my smile looks cuter pre-braces , but i am sure once my bite is better and everything falls into place it'll be better :)

newbie question to you about your photos . . .

#23 Post by mommak8 »

Hi,

How do you get your photos to appear directly in your post without having to have a link? I have not had my braces put on yet, but did a photoshop simulation of how I will look post braces that I thought y'all might enjoy . . .

Ask your ortho if he can put ligature rings on the cleats inside your bands. That makes them much smoother and they don't annoy the tongue as much.
You have a beautiful set of braces. Have fun with colour. It lifts the spirit when you are feeling grumpy.

you just have to use the IMG tag around your link , there should be a button above where you type your message text that says IMG , just click it once, type your link, and then click the IMG button again to close the tag. then it should appear as an image rather than just a link. hope that makes sense... :)

Wow gorie. I swear in the last picture "current smile" you look just like my friend Georgia, except she's a blond. Great progress by the way!
