I was digging through my albums and I can actually see the difference before and after the braces lol.

It’s been almost a year since I started my braces.

I didn't really notice because I see myself every day, but looking at old photos, I realize there has been a change.

I can see my mouth shape has changed, and my smile looks more natural.

Since getting braces, I've often heard people say my impression looks neater, so I guess spending the money was a good decision haha.

It’s not completely finished yet, but

seeing the difference gives me the determination to hang in there for the rest of the time.

Also, for reference, I’m using Seraphine. Since it’s clear braces, you can’t tell I’m getting braces in photos, so I’m satisfied.

It’s fun to record and look at the gradual changes in photos haha.

I’m thinking of taking a picture of my teeth once a month.
