Filling The Gap

I recently decided to close the large dental gap in between my two front teeth. I am about 1/2 way through my Invisalign treatment and I am now starting to see the physical difference of my smile. This isn't the first time I have committed myself to physicly altering medical treatment to fix what I do not like about my appearance. People have complimented me on my gap, but in my head I took it as a form of mocking. I was told before that my smile is one of my best attributes, however the compliment came from my mother (she has a gap too).

Since I was a kid in school, I wanted to close it because it was the source of cruel teasing. Because of finances braces were never an option. Any time I was teased, my gap would be the point of focus. "Shut up with your ugly rabbit gap teeth" I would get teased more about by gap rather than the fact that I also wore glasses.

No one has teased me for at least a decade, however my gap is a physical unattractive flaw. Although, I'm sure others could not care less about the arraignment of my dental structure, I still feel the need to close it. I know that now I am closing it for me, and not to silence my teasers.

Beauty comes from within, and confidence is the best accessory!
