Here’s how my own smile transformation went… STEP ONE: BRACES

It was also a running joke about how awkwardly I smiled in photos and, with my wedding coming up, I just wanted nice-looking teeth. Years of over-brushing had also worn the enamel down in places, leaving them looking patchy and with uncomfortable sensitivity.
