Today I am going to see a friend of mine who happens to be a dentist about getting my teeth fixed once and for all!
You see, I have had this space between my teeth since my two front teeth grew in as a baby. I have had surgical procedures, braces, and even had the gap "filled" in and it just keeps finding it's way to the surface.
The usual response that I get from my sweet family and friends goes something like this:
"I don't even notice it"
"I can't imagine you without it.."
"It gives you character.."
"I think it's cute!"
The thing is, I see it. I see it in every single picture I take-I see it every day when I brush my teeth.
It bugs me.
I don't hate it. It doesn't make me feel insecure. It just bugs me.
I love you Michael Strahan...but.... no.
This is not a campaign about loving your imperfections.... please do not report me to DOVE's campaign for real beauty, because the gap between my teeth is the least of my imperfections!
I just think... I am 33 years old... I have battled it in every way I know how...I think it's just time to do it...
If I can find the money, Veneers are in my future.
I posted it here on my blog.
No take backs.
I get it. I used to have a similar gap. Braces fixed mine, but I constantly fear it's return.
