Thoughts After The Flipper

I just feel really awesome. It amazes me what straightening teeth can do for confidence. I feel more confident talking to people now especially since my front tooth hole was covered with a flipper. I just can't explain how extremely happy I am. But to be honest here the first few days it took me awhile to get used to. My teeth look so straight it was hard for me to except that they are my teeth and that they look good on my face. It looks great but at first I struggled to smile and feel comfortable, I am still struggling to talk with out a wistlely or slisspy voice the Ss and Ts are a struggle and I sound like a goof ball but I am sure I will get used to it like I did with my expander and will soon start talking normally again. Here is a side by side (I just had to) of my teeth at the start and now. My thoughts? JUST WOW! MY teeth look so long and I couldn't even rest my jaw at the start. I can't believe I lived like that for a good portion of my teen and early 20s. I just wished that I was able to have afforded these braces sooner.
