Day 1 to Today (10 months later). Still have work to do but I’m so happy I cried today think about not hating my smile for the first time in my 37 years of life. I know that probably sounds stupid to some but it’s how I’ve felt. You’re never too old to get the smile you deserve.

This is late but braces came off back in March (3 days before my bday :3)!! I've always wanted braces and felt ugly with a bad smile but couldn't afford them. I finally got them when I was 22 and I couldn't be happier!

EXTRACTIONS? I have been in braces for 8 months. And my ortho told me that I need to have two premolar extractions on our next session because my teeth cannot be pushed further without extracting for space. In reference, my overjet right now is still 10mm. My mother is highly against it.

9mo ⋅

Braces off! Honest opinions please, do my teeth look like the braces were ready to be removed? I am much more confident now but I just want to see what other people think.
