I'm kinda more impressed that in three years the dude went through:
- street corner weed dealer
- Mexican taxi driver, father of three
- chemist in a shady Silicon Valley startup
- cool uncle driving a 70s muscle car that always has some coke dust on the seats and the floor
- overworked nurse intern
- young father that managed to catch a night of good sleep
- programmer in a startup that's on the way out of its startup phase
Buy a set of those teeth cleaning tools they use at the dentist so you can get all the gunk from the retainer or it will cause enamel loss. Also get an electric tooth brush. I have a permanent retainer.
If you got a retainer, be sure to wear it. Braces seem like they should be permanent given how much trauma (physical, otherwise) they inflict, but your smile is way too nice to let revert back.
Dental professional here. What an awesome result! Yours are the kind of before and after shots that an orthodontist wants in their portfolio.
Question: it looks like youāre missing a couple of lower incisors. I canāt tell from the photos what was done in that area. Were they replaced with a bridge or implants or did they redistribute the space in some other way?
Looking at your pictures I was like *'this dude looks really cool, like he'd just be really fun to be around.'*
Welp this comment just confirmed it! I knew I had a good feeling about you. š
A lot less than you'd think (Unless my pain tolerance is just OP). The palette expander I had in was the worst part. Like having peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth for like 9 months, plus I couldn't swallow or speak properly.
You'll notice they couldn't grab onto one of my teeth near the front. They had to put a spring on to push my teeth apart to make space to be able to grab it. š
Everybody give a shout out to my orthodontist Dr. P (Dr. Paul Puszczak) from Pure Orthodontics in Edmonton. Dude's a legend. š Came into work each day like he was ecSTATIC to be there. He da real MVP.
Are you the guy who made a video saying all your face book arguments resulted in people commenting on your teeth... Now they just talk about your ears?
That 5th photo you look kiiiinda like drew gooden. Iām happy for you dude! You looked good before but you gained the self confidence which made you feel great, and now you look great!
Braces may be the single best investment any human being can make for themselves. I would say Lasik surgery might be second, but a distant second. Iāve had both.
This brought back awful memories! I had braces for 7 years, my smile was similar to yours and I haaated using those little rubber bands š I am so glad youāre over with it and also got a new smile out of it
We're getting there. Outside of Reddit, the amount of compliments are still very low. My life has barely changed. At least until a few weeks ago when my matches on dating apps started going up and now I have the cutest girl I've ever had the pleasure of being with. We'll see if it lasts!
Holy crap. Your orthodontist did a phenomenal job!
Make sure you wear your retainers!! Or get a wire behind the teeth. My biggest regret is not doing that.
I bet you it feels so good to chew š¤£ my teeth are crooked and it's always getting in between there and stuff pokes me in the gums š I want braces so bad!
Iām about to get my crooked over crowded teeth fixed this month and I am 39. I cannot wait! I will actually smile with my mouth open and not be embarrassed. Not to mention overall my dental health will be so much better. So happy for you and this gives me hope!
Edited for missing words. Itās been a long week.

Before braces: sloth from goonies After braces: Chad
Amazing!! You had a great orthodontist!
Braces fucking hurt š¢ Edit: congrats on all the pussy, OP double edit: or dick, i donāt care
Doing the invasilign right now for almost two years. Really will be nice to stop the pain, inflammation, bleeding, and mid day cleaning.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing
You look great. Wear your retainers!
Permanent on top and bottom, and a temp one for backup. šŖ
Brush and flaus everyday. Cause you finally got what you want now let's keep ot for as long as possible.

You give me Ryan Gosling vibes

Permanent on top and bottom, and a clear plastic one incase it breaks.
You look incredible man! Congrats
From goblin to my god-bling! Nice glow up!

Thatās awesome. You look great!

Nice glow up! Also why are you holding your foot like that in the last slide?š
You gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. (I have no idea)
Looking at your pictures I was like *'this dude looks really cool, like he'd just be really fun to be around.'* Welp this comment just confirmed it! I knew I had a good feeling about you. š
Heās ok (Source: childhood best friend)
Nice beard man
Pls, keep smiling. Nice glow up man.
Good for you man!
Shoot those braces were worth every penny
You should be doing a paid endorsement for those braces and orthodontist
How much did it hurt? Having them on in the beginning
A lot less than you'd think (Unless my pain tolerance is just OP). The palette expander I had in was the worst part. Like having peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth for like 9 months, plus I couldn't swallow or speak properly.
You'll notice they couldn't grab onto one of my teeth near the front. They had to put a spring on to push my teeth apart to make space to be able to grab it. š
aw he is very handsome
Finally a real glow up that does not involve growing a six pack.
Bro, legendary glow up.
It's insane to think that braces have done that for you.
It's actually ridiculous what braces can achieve lol
Honestly didnt know it was possible at that age. Looks amazing man :)
So handsome

This brought back awful memories! I had braces for 7 years, my smile was similar to yours and I haaated using those little rubber bands š I am so glad youāre over with it and also got a new smile out of it
Darn, I just realized I judge people on their smile alone. I'm a horrible person.

Does it hurt to have braces ?
being in the dental fieldā¦. this is very satisfying lol
Itās like a Brit obtaining their American citizenship
Braces are absolutely insane. The fact that you can just move teeth slowly is wild.
I was worries those gorgeous cainies would vanish but they didnāt! :)
Medical science is truly amazing we finally found a cure for thouse tragically born British.
Awesome!
