Throughout my life, I have had problem with my teeth. Health-wise they have been pretty good but started out very crooked, as a result of sucking on my pinkey finger (hey, we all have our things). I also had what are called "peg laterals" which are the teeth next to the front two top teeth that don't become the proper size so they look like pegs. Braces took care of the crookedness but the small teeth were never really fixed correctly (bonded to be bigger but not big enough to look right). So yesterday, my dentist fixed this up for me finally. Insurance covered 80% like they would a filling, which is essentially what they did. I am so completely happy with the results! Here are some before and after pics of my smile.

This is a before picture - as you can see, teeth are nice and straight thanks to braces in high school. But the two teeth lateral to the front two are smaller and look a little crooked due to chipping over the years. The two front teeth are also flatter from being worn down (probably from biting my nails). You can also see the scar on my bottom lip from falling up the stairs when I was 3 and getting stitches.
This is the after picture - the teeth are now taller and more in size with the surrounding teeth. The front two were also rounded a little to take off sharp edges and give a more feminine look.
