So, in 5th grade I got braces. In 7th I got them off. I couldn't take care of them properly as the brush wouldn't go all the way between the wire and my gums. It left me with cavities on the front of my teeth. They tried filling them with resin, which only became stained and chipped over time. Needless to say, I have a straight smile, but I am so embarrassed to show my teeth! It's absolutely mortifying when people go, "Hey, I think you have something... Right there, in your teeth." A lot of my pictures are of me smiling with my lips closed. I want to grin and show off my teeth in pictures or when I'm with my friends. I love my smile! But I can't help but hate it at the same time.
