My laptop died so my latest pictures are on that.
Good news is that my bottom teeth are extremely straight now! I'll post pics as soon as my laptop is fixed.

Bad news is that I got the lingual braces put on my uppers 3 weeks ago and cannot get used to the lisp I have!

I thought it would go away in a few days or in a couple of weeks, yet here I am just over 3 weeks later and still lisping just as bad. People noticed the lisp straight away - or maybe it was because

It was a bit of a shock looking in the mirror!

Morning,
I thought I would introduce the situation of my teeth right at the beginning of my blog.

Lower:
My lower teeth appear much worse than my top.
I have crowding at the front, which was worsened by my wisdom teeth popping out.
I also have a baby tooth still residing on my left, with no adult tooth to push it out.

Upper:
My upper teeth actually require more work than the bottom.
My wisdom
