^^No, no stripping to make room. I had my wisedom teeth removed a few years ago and it was enough room to let them move back. The only place I was thinking of shaving was between my front teeth to get that gap to close alittle more but the dentist didn't recommend it. They want to bond it instead so I'm looking into that.
I am sooo impressed! I just got my braces yesterday, and have had no problems thus far, (thank goodness). Looking at your upper teeth...well, they look VERY similar to mine...and you've given me such great hope!! Thank you for posting, and your smile is tremendously beautiful! You should be proud of making the decision to get braces!
Hugs! And WOW!
