Lovely smile!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm scheduled for similar treatment soon, and I'm 62. My front teeth have always been large, but, hey, they're me . . . Then about a year ago one needed a root canal and then surgery. After that, the term the dentist used is "it erupted". Now it's all I see when I look in the mirror. It's getting a crown and the other 3 will have veneers.

CONGRADULATIONS!!! You have a smile of confidence. You go girl. Keep smiling it warms the heart!

You look great! I never realized how self-conscious having less than perfect teeth can make you until I worked with a guy who wouldn't really smile because he hated the way his teeth looked. I silently blessed my parents who put braces on me when we could not afford it and gave me the freedom to smile openly.

I am so glad you were able to achieve your dream- enjoy your new look!

Good for you, it is never too late to get your smile.

I'm behind on looking at posts. Your smile looks great. I had very crooked bottom teeth and slightly crooked front teeth. In my 40's I had my wisdom teeth pulled, the front bottom teeth were minutely shaved to make room for them to move, and then got Invisilign to straighten them. I still have a permanent bar on the back of the bottom teeth because after all these years they would still want to migrate back to the way they were. After that I got veneers on my top front two teeth that were always crooked. So, yes it is never too late to have nice teeth.

Congratulations! As a smiley person myself, I couln't imagine having to wait so long to see your dreams come true. I guess now you'll be a real ham for the camera!

Oh Yeah, we were at valleyfair in Mpls MN this weekend and had our picture taken. It is so weird to see white teeth on me for the picture.
