Happy birthday.
Have a great day and keep smiling!

You've got a lot of work happening there. You have nice shaped teeth, so you'll have an awesome smile when it's all finished.

Hope it all goes well on Tuesday.

I don't profess to understand it at all but I know a couple of points in the hands which you can massage to relieve a headache.
