(can't wait until I can say "Before") Pictures

The first step is always the hardest. In the orthognathic blog world, it seems airing one's "dirty laundry" or rather posting close-up pictures of your bite, is that step. It's something we are always aware of when meeting new people, seeing old friends, passing a mirror and of course, looking at photos. (I know I always censor photos posted on facebook!) So, for the sake of healing, here are my current pics!

To the dogs...

Ok, so I'm still waiting to get into the Oral Surgeon's to have my 4th molar's extracted (yes, 4th molars). My orthodontist would like to wait until that's done to put my braces on. I've read a lot about the jaw surgery anxiety dreams. Well, I had the lamer braces anxiety dream! Maybe I shouldn't say anxiety, it was more braces envy. Yes, the dog in my dream had braces. And by the smile he was giving me, I think he was rubbing in how straight his teeth have gotten.

I couldn't help but re-create the image:)
