Not Ashamed To Smile Anymore

Have you ever noticed that in my pictures-I never smiled? just kinda "smirked"? I wouldn't show my teeth or full pearlies? That's because I was too ashamed or embarrassed to show my smile- I HATED it! I was so self concious about it-I USED to have a nice smile-REALLY I did! until I switched medications, and that went to pot.Then my once orthodontically fixed smile{2500.00 that went down the tubes mind you } was changed when I was put on a new medication and one of the side effects was swollen gums. well, they swelled, I had my gums cut back, they swelled again,this time so bad they separated my teeth and shifted them and pushed them apart to where I developed this "snaggletooth" smile. So Through medical and dental- since it was a medical condition that caused this I was able to put some under medical n and some under dental, I recently had some oral surgery and fixed the problem and am able to smile proudly now! I went from
"smirking to the dreaded :" snaggletooth" smile to a nice straight smile again "I Can smile clearly now, the pain is gone..."
