View submission: Amazing how it can be life changing
Wow. I would definitely love to take part in this. That's one thing I don't do. Is smile.

Same, I am just so self conscious about my teeth
I just got a new job after being unemployed for a long time. I am incredibly scared of dentists as a doctor tortured me in my childhood. I am so scared of my teeth getting worse and at the same time I am tired of living in fear.

I would fucking bawl my fucking eyes out after something like this. I'd finally feel relatively "normal". A decade of smiling for pictures only to have people tell you to smile.

I’ve thought about it. My natural teeth are far, far too large for my mouth/jaw. I’ve had to have so many teeth pulled and moved with orthodontics that my smile just looks wrong in an uncanny valley kind of way. My teeth still don’t fit despite the extractions. Just from the amount they move during the day, wearing my retainer at night is painful. Even with insurance, it would be very expensive and I hear the process is pretty intense.

Same. Currently missing all my teeth in a transition to get implants.
Had like 10 trips to the dentist and its been nothing but problems to the point that now I just have 2 implants covered on the bottom, no teeth and no dentures, and down 6 grand.
Whatever you do, make sure you go someplace where they really seem like they care about their job, a lot.
There are so many things that can go wrong in the whole process, its insane.
