My braces are coming off!
I'm seriously so freaking excited about this! Here's a few pics of the journey...
Pre-braces: August 8, 2010 (Our first wedding anniversary!) Aside from the silly face, you can see the crookedness on top and bottom. |
Same day; here you can see the overbite (and my eighth-grade throwback blue eyeshadow). |
January 2011; spacers to prepare for the metal bands on my back molars. |
February 11, 2011: Literally minutes after my braces were put on. (I was faking this smile, in case you couldn't tell.) |
Comparison photo. Top: May 2011; Bottom: January 2012. Major improvement! |
May 2012: Almost done! |
Stay tuned for the big reveal. We're going to a wedding the day after I get my braces off, so I'm excited to have a chance to dress up and smile big!
So exciting! I love the progression photos, and wow, the difference is quite noticeable already! Now I want to go through my parents' stash of old photos and dig up before and after photos of myself. I had a MUCH more pronounced overbite at the start-- couldn't even smile with my lips closed!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Can't wait to see your new smile in person next week!
