I had some problems with my front teeth when I was little. They were big and protruding. Thanks to my mom who was concerned enough with my looks and brought me to an orthodontist. My dentist was not one of the top cosmetic dentists San Diego has to offer, but he was very good and gave us a big discount. So, when I was in High school, I was one of the first few people who wore braces at school. Wearing braces at that time was starting to became more of a trend. But in fact, I find it amusing when people look at me and they stare at my mouth. My dentist also had this colorful rubber to adjust my teeth. So, I remember wearing the purple rubber on my teeth and the more strangers look at me as if I just came from outer space. So, at that time, I felt consious and tried not to smile too much. But as months passed by, wearing braces has become a trend and it was ‘cool’ to wear one. And I guess that was the only time, I was able to smile 100% and and show off my braces! Hahah!I

But thank God that after a few years, I have finally taken off my braces and I was so happy to have nicer and straighter teeth. The downside of having teeth so straight? A few people did dare to ask me whether I’m wearing false teeth or not? LOL!
