Brace Face Tin Grin Smiley
Close-up at 15 months in bracesHere's a close-up of my smile at 15 months in braces. I'm very pleased so far and can't wait to get the braces off and see the results. My orthodontist won't tell me when they're coming off -- they don't want to get your hopes up -- but I have a feeling it won't be much longer. The original estimate was two years (next October), but I was ready for jaw surgery early, so now technically they have me until July. But I think it will be sooner. There is just a tiny bit of straightening left to be done before they are perfect. My next adjustment is Feb. 14, Valentine's Day, and I'm hoping my hot date, I mean, orthodontist, will give me some good news.

I also uploaded the full face shot, before and after X-rays and, while we're on the subject of teeth, a picture of the bite mark a bear left in my trash can last fall.
