Nearly 6 months after taking them off
WORTH IT$6,100
I haven’t updated lately because of my busy mommy lifestyle but also I was getting used to my new smile, getting used to my new bite too! That was not always easy I must admit. I was very happy after the braces were off but sometimes I doubted and knit-picked whether my teeth were as “fixed” as I wanted them. Some days I would smile in the mirror and swear they were still crooked and that maybe I should have worn the braces longer. Don’t know where the lack of confidence was coming from... maybe the image of what they used to look like was so burned in my memory that I still saw the ‘before’ smile when I looked in the mirror.
With time though, I have gotten to be happier and more please with my new smile.
I did find though that the front teeth need to come back a few millimeters. Talked to my orthodontist and we talked about shaving in between the teeth (interproximal reduction) and putting braces back on them for 4 months or so. We’ll put them back on around mid-January and i’m hoping to get them off by end of April, before my graduation May 12th.

Ugh sorry all those question marks were caused by emojis I used. I guess this site does not alow emojis, so it just replaces them with question marks lol
your result is amazing..... thanks for sharing your wonderful brace journey... I just start my brace and my teeth profile almost same with you.... nice share....
Thank you and good luck on your braces journey!! you'll love to go through the transformation.
at first I thought that use braces at age 30 is too late for fix may teeth problem (many of friends tell me this fact and some articles) but when I see your decision to use brace at your 40 age... and get amazing result... I can have great reason to use braces.. and just relax to wait the progress... and everything can be possible..
Yes definitely, I even saw people near 60 yrs old getting braces.
