I've had my braces for a year now, so I thought I'd post some pics to show everyone my progress. I've still got 6-9 months to go, so there's still a bit of work to be done on my teeth, but i'm happy with the progress before.

Teeth in May 2006 (Getting better!)

Most teeth are coming into line. Still worried about my gum line, which needs a bit of work at both the top and the bottom, but progress is progress!
Can you see the gums of my top teeth? Specifically the tooth on each side next to my canines and how the gum kind of dips down and then goes back up? Anyone have any advice on what to do for this? I know I can get gum surgery but do I have to wait until my braces come off to get that?
Before I got braces my teeth were making me paranoid now I want to have an even gumline...
