New Smile!

Yes, indeed, my metal mouth is gone! Yesterday I got my brackets and wires off. It's a good thing that I'm getting retainers tomorrow because there's already a tiny space between my two front teeth. ;-/ Amazing how fast teeth move, especially in the wrong direction. Now, in these pictures, my smile may not look greatly different than it used to, but it is indeed very different. My chin is higher because my lower teeth now sit behind my front teeth instead of right under. Everything is way straighter. When I first looked in the mirror my teeth looked huge! They've been half covered for a year and a half, so it takes some getting used to to see them all.

What a nice gift from the Lord to time this right before Thanksgiving. :-) I have much on my thankful list this year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
