    As you know, I've finally had my braces off on Thursday so here are the photos of my journey. I still need some work doing on my teeth (whitening and my canines need building up so they're not so pointy) but overall I'm slowly getting used to my new smile. My surgeon thinks I've still got about 20% of my swelling left so hopefully the chubby cheeks will deflate a little bit over the next 6 months!
    As with most of us, I don't have many pics from beforehand but here we go...
    Before braces, horrible underbite


    Braces on...looking sexy on the beach!

    The only photo I have of my profile. They all got deleted!

    Front profile pre op

    Post op...not my best look!

    Today...a little less swollen!

    The new smile...no braces!

    New profile. No underbite!

    The new gnashers

    Bite pre op

    Bite post op and braces off! (a bit stained but having them whitened and my canines built up so they're not pointy)

    Sorry for the overload of photos. Always good to share though!

    Thank you! I think my smile makes me look happy as opposed to like I'm just pulling a face. And yes, it was totally worth it!
