..but it just may be my imagination.

>>The problem with my teeth is severe crowding. I had

>>rest of my teeth will have room to move and rotate.
>>
>>The 2 teeth on either side of my 2 front teeth were
>>raised, almost sideways and lapping in (see pics
>>http://www.impsci.com/My%20Braces.htm ).
>>
>>
>>I had my braces put on about 2 months ago. Since then,
>>I have experienced a LOT of movement, especially on my
>>upper teeth.
>>
>>
>>The teeth are much more straight but still need to
>>come down. (new pics soon).
>>
>>Anyway, as I was going through my old photo albums
>>yesterday, I noticed something really interesting.
>>
>>I always allowed myself to be photographed smiling if
>>I was caught off guard, (and I always HATED those
>>pics), or with my lips closed, so people couldn't see
>>my teeth.
>>
>>I obviously wasn't happy with the "teeth showing"
>>pictures, and with the "lips closed" pictures, I was
>>never happy because I had a crooked smile.
>>
>>Because of my "crooked smile", I had a hard time
>>picking out lipstick. If I choose a bright color(which
>>I loved BEST), it seemed to call attention to my
>>crooked teeth or crooked smile.
>>
>>
>>Now, since my teeth have gotten straighter, I noticed
>>that my smile really is very symetrical. It was my
>>crooked tooth on the left that held my lips away from
>>my mouth, and that is what made my smile crooked!!
>>
>>I have to tell you that I LOVE my smile now, even
>>after only 2 months and with the braces on!!. It is
>>so much better than the way it was.
>>
>>Has anyone else had this experience??
>>
>>Anyway, for those of you who are having a hard time
>>with your braces, I just want to tell you that there
>>are perks along the journey that maybe you haven't
>>even planned on.
>>
>>As for me - I will probably be buying many different
>>shades of lipstick, to make sure people notice my
>>beautiful smile :>)
