"I decided to get braces as an adult because I had a lateral tooth that has always been just a bit out of place. As it turned out, I got my braces on the same day as my daughter - not the mother/daughter day most would expect, but we went with it! I opted for the ceramic (tooth colored) brackets so they wouldn't be as noticeable and I really love how they looked! Now that my braces are off, I'm so pleased with how straight my smile is. It's never too late to have the smile you want!"

Ultraviolet light is used to cure the bonding material.

I love these ceramic brackets!

Once the brackets are off, my orthodontist removed excess cement.
A wire is placed behind my teeth to help keep them in place.
My orthodontist checks to see everything looks good.
Feels so great to have them off!
Update some glamor shots to document before and after.
I'm so amazed with the results!
