Ya your smile definitely looks wider now! I'm obsessed with my midline haha... Yours is coming along which is great. Sometimes we don't notice the progress right away but when you do it's gratifying.

Definitely! I love seeing progress! One thing that is insanely bothering me though is that my upper teeth are slanted, one side is higher than the other. I wonder if they will use TADs to fix that? Also, one side of my lip is higher than the other when I smile. It's kind of annoying, but I may just have to accept that one though =/

@lightskinnnn38 - our smile is almost identical, except our slants are on opposite sides! My lip is also higher on the side where the teeth slant up. On one hand, I hate it, because I have an OCD thing about things being "even". But on the other hand (when I'm not OCD-ing out) it kinda looks like a cute little smirk, which some people find endearing. My next appt. is on 11/11 (holiday), so I'll have time to ask him if he could please explain to me how he intends to bring that down. But your teeth really have progressed beautifully! I love wide smiles!!

I think it's hilarious how we all went through life all these years with crooked, bucky, gappy, "whatever" teeth that we were okay with, and now that they're getting fixed - we notice the smallest little imperfections that, I'm sure, nobody other than an orthodontist, can see.

Catgyrl that is a very true observation, although there was never a time when I actually was ok with my (old) smile. But I used to think about my friends' (imperfect) teeth and think "Man I would even settle for THAT!"... but now, my teeth are better than most people's but I know that I still wouldn't be 100% satisfied with how they look if my braces came off tmrw. You guys have slanty smiles, I've got a super high lip line. These things just make our smiles unique, and yes I agree I think it's kinda cute :3
