cosmetic dentistry | July 14, 2007

From the time I was in the first grade until just a few days ago (that’s about 18 years, if you don’t want to do the math) I always had a retainer or braces. Two months ago, I started a long process of finalizing all of the cosmetic dental problems I have had since being born with a cleft lip and pallet. For the first time in my life I am not afraid to smile and show my teeth. There is still some work left, but I am happy and my mouth feels free.

    Oh my god, that is the -cutest- smile I have ever seen on ANYONE. You could spawn bunnies and kittens off of those teeth.

    Please smile more from now on because teeth like that deserve to be seen. A beautiful woman without a smile is like a grey Ferrari ;-)
