Recently I have shared my blog with a few more people that I personally know. Not that i’m ashamed of it but I’ve been hesitant to show/tell a lot of people about this blog because…well, I guess it’s a vulnerabilty thing.  Anywho, my recent upswing in blog posts and sharing inspired me to take a trip back to the beginning and see where it all started.

The biggest surprise (besides the fact that I seem certifiable sometimes) is my “official” before picture.  I took a picture of my teeth/me smiling before any surgeries or tainting of my mouth took place in July. It was absolutely astonishing to me at how much my smile has changed!  Now, many people probably wouldn’t notice but it’s my mouth so i do.

These are the changes I saw:

  • the top half of my smile has shifted - as if it is more centered inside my mouth
  • my two front teeth overlapped!!! 23 years and I never even noticed it, but there is the proof
  • the two teeth next to my two front teeth are set further back then the others

So there you have it, I apparently did not have the perfect teeth I thought I did.  One of the benefits (and I guess the most obvious benefits) is that my smile is going to be SO AWESOME when this is all over.  That’s a bit exciting to think about when things get bad.

Check out this link to see my before pic - but I will try to post a comparitve picture of my current tooth status and that original.
