I miss the gap between his front teeth but his smile does look great now. To be clear, his reasons for going through this ordeal as an adult were not vain in nature. The before picture doesn't show the bottom teeth that were giving him the problems that eventually led him to the orthodontist's chair.
I, on the other hand, was strongly influenced by vanity before embarking on this adult orthodontia exercise. Who wants to think "snaggle tooth" every time they look in the mirror? I'm about a week away from my Invisalign schedule's halfway point, or about 5 and half months left!
