Photos of Gena from Chicago, USA

Gena is 25. She says, "I got braces because my bottom teeth were crowded and because I had a big overbite. The overbite has gotten better but I believe will get much better once I starting using elastics. I am actually excited to get those. It's a lot of fun to see the improvement in my teeth even though I have to go through some irritation, it's worth it in the end.

"I've had braces for about 9 months now and my ortho gave me an estimate of 15-18 months so I am half way there."
