They looked okay. I still think they'll look better with the implants in the lateral position. One of them had gotten a bit crooked, leaving space between it and the central incisor. I thought I could just get a retainer to push it back into place, but was advised not to due to the weakness of the baby canines. I could e-mail you a picture if you like.
