Metal Mouth Message Board

excuse me please!

Welcome!

I know you get tired of hearing this but.....................I think your teeth already look great. If you hadn't told us, I would have thought it was an after pic.

Hi Paula, I am still in braces and now have a gummy smile (the gum tissue is bunching up over some teeth). My Ortho and I discussed the problem at the beginning of my treatment.

Your teeth are beautiful!

Ooops, double post!

Wow, your teeth look great!! Did you request the gold brackets or does your ortho routinely use them?? They are cute!
